This is life

Hey guys, sorry for the tone of the last blog. After reading some Hemingway I decided to play with my writing style. So overall the mountain was great and all is well. Due to some flash storms I only got to spend a little time with the kids today and I'll put pictures up by tomorrow. The food was much better on the mountain than it is here and I'm ecstatic about leaving for Kilimanjaro. It's not that I want to leave the kids. I want to come back. But now it's time to continue my journey. Let's just say that after Meru, I have peak fever.
Today Baracka took the back of Loveness's light up Rolling Stones pin. When I confronted Baracka he gave me the back. When I asked for the battery he didn't know what I was talking about. I know what it was because I saw a Rolling Stones concert in second grade. But kids who are older than I was don't know who the Stones are and have not seen a concert.
So heres the plan. Kilimanjaro. Kenya. Europe. The Masai of Kenya are going to be great. Not only to I get to learn the culture of such a unique African tribe but I receive free protection from the rebels moving across the borders. Remember I am with some of the bravest hunters in the world.
So now, in rain gear feeling a little feverish for some reason, and reading the news from wifi I bid you a good day. No matter what you do when your happy whether it be singing in the car to The Boss, having a beer, or spending time with family, do it a little extra today for those who are not fortunate enough to enjoy the little things.
