March 2 ~ Kilimanjaro Memories

A three hour ride, in an open-sided truck, took us to the start of our hike.

March 1 ~ Kilimanjaro Memories

Six years ago, Megan and I were on an amazing adventure, climbing the highest mountain in Africa, Mt Kilimanjaro.
For a few days, I'm going to post photos from that journey, selfishly, to enjoy the memories.
This picture shows our guide, Amy, (blue shirt) and Megan holding the banner with our fellow climbers.
The purpose of our climb was to raise awareness and funds for Breast Cancer reasearch.

Jan. 3: Coffee with Deirdre

 

This morning, I had the opportunity to get together with my friend, Deirdre. It is still Christmas Holiday, so, as a teacher, she was not at work.

Being with her reminded me of the many amazing adventures that we have had together. This photo was taken on The West Coast Trail, in 2005.

We hiked on the wild west coast of Vancouver Island, for seven days, carrying 40 lb packs.

I love the contrast of our colourful gear, with the grey texture of the gull colony in the background.
