I really like this one.

Due to the clouds in the rainy season, it's been 4 months since we've seen this beauty.

We're preparing for a long hike so I thought I'd upgrade to a larger pack.

Mom really enjoyed trying the many kinds of tea.

Buyah! Look what we finally got in our city. A little slice of America.

These Hawks were for sale at the market. Obviously this guy wasn't happy about his picture being taken.

I set off with two friends of mine to climb a mountain. We drove about 4 hours away from our house and arrived here at base camp after about a half day's hike.

This is the summit. The next four pictures will give you an idea of how far away from it we were.

The view was spectacular as always.

Taking a rest on the way up.

At this point the rock ends and the ice begins so we had to put on crampons (ice shoes) and use ice axes.

Long way to go.
Posted by Picasa

The way up was grueling.

Glad to be here.

We finally made it to the summit at 17,703 feet.
