December 1, 2023 by Dave2 Comments

Despite my visit in early June, the temperatures were already sweltering during the day hovering around 39 degrees. Not one for sitting around inside or using taxis, I spent most of my several days here wandering the city on foot, trying to stay hydrated.

Everyone seems to have their own … [Read more...]

One of a number of my trips to Africa was built around a singular goal - that of reaching the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro, one of the seven summits (the tallest mountains on each continent).
