For the past three months, Mount Kilimanjaro has stood off in the distance, on the horizon of my mind. Gradually, without my even noticing it, while Trevor and I enjoyed the sights and sounds of Europe, we crawled closer and closer to the base of the mountain. We didn’t take notice of the fact that October 15th was quickly approaching. Well, today is the day; we are no longer looking off into the horizon; when I close my eyes, I see the foot of the mountain in front of me, waiting to be conquered. Today, we take the first steps. Today, we climb Kilimanjaro! We’ll be back in 8 days, everybody! I am one with the Fro, and the Fro is with me!
