BUT, I MADE IT! That´s right. I made it to the top of 4750 meters, that´s 14,250 feet. I would take some frost bitten fingers ary day to say I made it :) That smile in the picture was the only one I had for an hour before and an hour after. The guide tried to sing to me and kept lurking right behind me. I think he was nervous I would fall off the mountain :) I didn´t. It was much harder than I thought, kudos to you papa! Climbing mountains is hard! The last picture was of this amazing turquoise lake. It was surreal the color of it. Glacier water and minerals. When the sun is shinning it glows! Hope you are all doing well and keeping warm with the rain! Off to Trujillo tonight. Night bus for 8-10 hours...saves on a room!
You are my hero.
ReplyDeleteYou’re awesome! Congratulations and you’re right, climbing mountains is hard, I’m impressed!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you had a guide, doing it alone can be tough. Stay warm and healthy.
Always thinking about you.

ReplyDeleteMorning sunshine, I've tried to send numerous messages but was unable to get through on to your blog. Is this like the facebook thing? Don't forget, I'm your mother. I WILL FIND YOU!!!! So exciting to hear about your daily happenings and sorry to hear about the altitude sickness. Not much fun is it? I also think your father and I forgot to tell you something before you left. You aren't in San Diego. Put some long pants on and the frost bite thing will be greatly deminished. Keep posting. You are a rock star!!! We love you so much, Mom
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you were going to boycott cause of facebook : )
ReplyDeleteAnd, my legs were fine in the snow, my face and fingers were what were getting ready to fall off!
