 Kilimanjaro journal entry:
June 5, 1993
“We are gaining elevation quickly now. The diamox tablets that the
doctor gave us help our bodies to acclimatize better, but they make
my lips and fingertips numb. The temps are getting much colder, and
I am not sleeping well at night in my skinny little bag. The food
has been fabulous. Hard to believe they carried chicken and fresh
veggies all the way up here. Some days the porters go for hours in
search of firewood and water. Most of them carry their load on top
of their head. ” |
