19. I Did It- Made It to the Summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro – August 14

So I made it to the roof of Africa. It has been an amazing journey. I would not say it was fun as it was grueling, hard work in the sun, cold, wind, dust, and very desolate environment. But it was incredible!! It was exhilarating! It was unforgettable! I was only able to get there with much help from many people. But yet, I did it one step at a time up that mountain. Now I am sore, exhausted, drained, emotional and ready to head home. I plan to write more about my story in future entries but for now, I need a little rest.

At Stella’s Point – not much farther
At the end of the trek

  8. Fabulous!!! So happy (& relieved!) for you. What a feat, you did it!! Enjoy the trek “downhill”, hope it’s not nearly as grueling as the climb to Summit.
