It's been a wonderful, life changing experience. Everyone I've worked with and everyone in town has welcomed me with open arms. Of course there have been a few difficulties and frustrations along the way, but I'm certain I would have had at least as many had I spent these nine months in the States. <br /><br />Last week, I climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro it was unbelievable. It was so beautiful and such a great way to challenge your mind and body. I was very lucky and didn't suffer from altitude sickness at all, so I was able to summit and appreciate the beauty of Tanzania from an entirely new angle. <br /><br />Some of my friends told me that they got the impression that I didn't enjoy my trip to Kilimanjaro from what I had written here previously, and I'd like to apologize for that. To say that my experience of Kilimanjaro and Tanzania in general was anything less than amazing would be a lie. My intent was to show both the good and the bad parts of the trip, but I don't think I did a good enough job writing about the good. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity.Amynoreply@blogger.com
