Kili Lodge
Alright, I'm trying to get pictures to you guys but the computers are not being very nice! I have some amazing pictures to show you. This weekend we went to Kili Lodge ... 10,000 feet up the mountain. It's got a gorgeous view. We spent last night there, and we watched (and danced with) traditional Chagga dancers. This morning (after waking up at 6am to see the African sunrise) we hiked to a waterfall. I feel like I went to timbucktoo. It was 2 hours of hiking up and down these narrow paths that are slippery and bumby and 5 inches away from a cliff into a massive valley. When we got to the waterfall, it was gorgeous and incredibly tall. We swam at the base of it, which was great after being so sweaty. The hike back was shorter because we got picked up in a car 1/3 of the way back to kili lodge, but for my first time hiking it was awesome. Hiking on kili at 10,000 feet elevation...I'm really impressed with my lungs. The other volunteers here are awesome, and I love them. I hope everyone at home is doing good! Love Maggie

Your hike to Kili sounds so romatic and exciting. Dancing, waterfalls, sunrises, danger, bonding with new friends. I can only imagine.
I would really enjoy seeing a picture of YOU! Please make posting a good full view photo of you a first priority. I need to see your smiling face and fingers and toes. All of you.
I would like to establish a time and day each week when we could plan to talk. Would this be possible? Let me know.
Keep up the great communication. I love you -- Mom
Hi Mag,
Each small thread from the fabric of your excursion is so vivid and rich with texture and radiance!! I can't wait to hear the next excerpt. I hope that you have the time to journal some of your reactions/experiences for future reference. I appreciate that you share with all of us who are taking vicarious pleasure.
We are well in our more mundane experiences. Uncle Al and I just celebrated our wedding anniversary at Vista Beach!! The cottage prevails.

Hi Maggie,
Kerri gave me information about your blogger site so I could read about your adventurers. I think it is so brave of you to be on this amazing journey. I am sure you will continue to collect many interesting experiences and memories. I would like to be added to your e-mail list. Mine is cussh@juno.com. I hope you plan to visit Spokane again so I can hear about your trip in person.
