dont worry, be happy Great post! Kili looks insanely beautiful, someday I will visit. Its like another world, and its good to see the glaciers still look think. Dont worry, when Obama gets elected the USA will start down a whole new path to the future! It wont save the melting glaciers(too little too late, we are now #2 in polluting behind China and soon India) but at least it wont make us look so bad. PS- I had to throw away my shoes I took to Ratanakiri because of the red dirt!!
You guys are awesome It's been great to see the pictures and read your stories over the last few months. I'm obviously jealous, as I'm sure many of your readers are. I'm very happy for you guys and know you are experiencing some amazing things! Can't wait to see you when you get back -- when is that going to be again?
Anyway, keep having fun and sending us the amazing pictures so I can live vicariously through you!
an annoying truth It's so cool that you guys got to climb mount Kilamanjaro and no one died! I couldn't be prouder! I guess most people die on Everest and such, not so much Kilamanjaro. But all the Makolins are very happy that you're alive.
And I am the only Makolin who will make this comment, but I am happy for you because you have gotten to see the snow and ice on Kilamanjaro before it melts away and is gone for...well maybe not forever, but at least for some long glacial period. You have all seen something that most people will never see in their lifetime, and I couldn't be more thrilled for you!
How well deserved the "soaking in [the] spoils" will be for you! Please tell your parents I said hello! And give them hugs for me!
Congrats! Congrats - what an awesome achievement. Mad jealous over here in the land of the Midwest. Love the nicknames too by the way. Hope to see you all soon and enjoy your safari time :)
so proud of you all! Hi Cousins,
So proud of you all for your amazing climb! The photos are gorgeous..thanks for continuing to share your wonderful journey of the world. Have fun with your parents! Love, Kirsten and kids
Beautiful pictures We can't wait until you get home to see your pictures. What a beautiful place. We missed you guys over the 4th. Your friends had a few beers for you! Can't wait to see the pony tail.
Love, Chuck and Ellen
Africa Man- so jealous you're over there... I plan on visiting Ethiopia when I go to Africa...Kenya would be cool too...But i'm thrilled you're having a good time...Hope you're learning as well...Since you're in Africa- I thought I would see pictures of my fellow people...! lol :) Be good...Stay safe. Love you. Please bring me bk something from the motherland!! lol
Powerlines... Given the inefficientcy's described in the above cultural depiction I would assume some public service engineer was paid for numerous hours of CADD modelling creating wiring diagrams for all the powerlines shown. These diagrams were then discarded by the installation crew who just got the job done, and charged there time as if it had been done to design. I dare those writing to disprove Kyles above statements to prove me wrong...
all of the history you have taken in over the last several months has been amazing! if you have any additional pics of temples/churches/etc (along with any background info you can remember) please send them my way, i would love to see them. safe travels!
My philosophy on taking pictures Darren refuses to take pictures, so I (Kyle) do most of the photography. I have a Cannon S5, and it takes great pics. My philosophy on taking pictures is that if you go to the most beautiful places in the world and take hundreds of photos, some are bound to be good.
You want a pic of rain? Without getting a camera wet, it isn't the easiest to take a picture of the rain; and, to be honest, it isn't all that sexy. But, for you Kuney, I would walk 500 miles.
I quit my cushy job in health care software in January of 2008 and hit the road with my younger brother Darren (the one on the left of the photo). We had plane tickets to South East Asia and not much of a plan beyond that. It turned into one of the best years of my life. And, as a result of this blog, I convinced many of my friends to leave their uninspiring jobs and travel as well!
I am now finishing medical school in the United States and starting residency shortly. Money is tight, becoming a MD has me pinned down, but I jump at every opportunity I can to get out on the road.... full info
