I have now officially made it to a new continent, bringing the number
to 4 (counting three days in NYC) different continents I have been in
in the last 15 days give or take. Not too shabby if you ask me, but I
seem to be becoming a worse flyer along the way, which is odd if you
ask me. I've been on 15 different airplanes since June 15th and
instead of getting calmer but I've seen a panicked look or two on some
flight attendants faces along the way and that never instills
confidence in me as they are usually calm and collected in turbulence.
But I digress, even though I've only been in Africa for a few hours
for some reason, I can't quite put my finger on it, but it just feels
great to be here, more so than any other place I've ever visited. For
those of you that don't know I'll be leaving Kenya tomorrow morning
for Moshi Tanzania, and I, along with three friends, will be climbing
Mt. Kilimanjaro this coming week, I so hope I make it to the summit.
Seeing as it is one of the 7 summits (the tallest mountain on each of
the 7 continents) it is a bit intimidating. What's worse is I was in
quite good shape at the beginning of this summer b/c I was running a
lot, but I've been fully enjoying/indulging myself through Europe the
last few weeks (not sure I've mentioned that I went from Rome to
Amsterdam to London this week) and I hope all the revelry doesn't come
back to haunt me. Anyway, off to bed, I will obviously not have
access to any computers etc this week, perhaps longer as I will be on
safari after this, ergo I won't be posting until next Saturday the
earliest. Don't take this as a sign of anything other than what it
is. Ciao ciao!
