Mount Kilimanjaro, day 2

Machame Route: The second day after trekking for hours and hours. Still feeling pretty good and altitude sickness has not hit yet! Woohoo! Giving a little insight as to the landscape, routine, altitude and experience. We trek for hours and hours each day, going "pole pole" which means very "slow". The porters blow me away! They carry all our heavy bags, plus all the supplies - tents, kitchen supplies, food, water, etc, and they do it all in running shoes! Everything is set up for us once we arrive at camp- our tents, hot water basin to rinse our faces (and wash our stinky feet!), the kitchen tent is set with snacks (Milo, cookies, crackers, tea and coffee), as we await dinner - which is delicious! We are fed so well!
