Once more Tim Challen, director of the Kili Initiative, invited me to participate in the 2020 Kilimanjaro Climb with youths from Nairobi and Dar Es Salaam. I left New York mid-February for a 13 hour flight to Africa and a short connecting leg to Mochi Aeroport in Tanzania followed by a two-hour taxi ride to the Marangu Hotel on the slopes of Kilimanjaro.
I brought along my computer, hoping to enter posts before and after the climb, however the Internet connection was weak, except in Pete’s Bar.
Somehow I was diverted from that task, but I’m back in New York.
Brooklyn to be exact.
Missing Africa and all my new and old friends, especially Ma’we.
