Pole Pole (Slowly Slowly)

Finished this goal in October 2010, went up the Machame Route with three good friends and we were lucky enough to get a great deal on the guide/etc due to a Peace Corps friend that worked in Moshi. Started for the summit around midnight and finally seeing the sunrise after a really steep and long climb up was one of the highlights. While I really loved the climbing/summit, I equally loved the National Park itself, there is so much biological/ecological diversity. Just getting to experience the nature and beauty of the park while walking around in the forests made the trip worth it. I will still have to climb Mt. Kenya (the true summit, not the summit you can hike to) and Mount Rwenzori one day, good reason to return to Africa.



bungee jump
Vic Falls

Went for the first time at Victoria Falls on the bridge over the Zambezi River connecting Zimbabwe and Zambia. I hadn’t really made my decision to jump until I arrived at the bridge and knew I would regret it if I didn’t do it. Certainly recommend it, the surprising and most fun part is just how long you fall for (the bridge is 128m or 420ft high). If you’re considering it… go for it!

Add France vs. South Africa to the list

Reapplied for the finals, quarter finals, and a group match France vs. South Africa. Application was not successful for the first two, but we did get tickets for the group match. While I still was really hoping for tickets to the final, unfortunately there is too high of a demand in the lottery. Paying exorbitant amounts via outside sources is an option, however I do not want to follow that route.

I’m still excited about seeing South Africa play in South Africa, can only imagine how awesome the crowd is going to be. Once the World Cup is over I’ll check this goal completed, but will probably make a new goal: “See the World Cup Final Live”!
