African Mountains
Hi Kelsey, climbing mountains in hot Africa is quite the challenge, isn't it? I climbed in Mali, in Burkina Faso, in Ghana and Ethiopia with my brother who is a mountain guide and even from his point of view, simply because the trails are not so well done, and they go quickly up and are quite the challenge even for people with experience and the sweat is incredible... I really know what you mean, I've been through it all but remember the feeling once you got to do it! If you get to do some african dance, you might get the same feeling, I've never sweat so much in my life, I was dancing 3-4 times a week, 3 hours a day, with Gasco's group and as you know, ghanaian dance is quite intense when you really get involved! Thanks for the pictures, it feels good to get away and reconnect with Nature... You are lucky you have your group, I came alone 3 years ago, and so I've been living a different experience, almost strictly with ghanaians, it's been amazing, and I actually never miss home, but I did miss having a friend who could truly understand me and I did come accross a few foereigners who made my day a few times!!! Happy Easter, here in montreal, we are celebrating it under 4 feet of snow at least!!! Cheers, Bella
