Trudging on up...

Whew! This hill is steep! It was ten to eight at this point, and we'd been climbing steadily for a couple hours. We were beginning to get concerned about our water supply - we brought two liters per person, and Mike and I had already nearly finished half our water! Not to worry... you may notice the mist beginning to creep over the mountain up ahead... (And water is available on the way up the mountain... for a price! It is airlifted in, after all.)
