This is very interesting. Are you sure you will be warm enough on the summit? How will anyone know if you are oxygen deprived? Will you be reeling and spinning out of control? How will they be able to tell if you are trying out your Salsa moves or being delirious? I’m sorry, I am just getting worried. I know that you will be fine and as always, I will summon the angels to follow you. Have an awesome trip my friend.
Hm… where did you take these photos? 🙂 i like this entry – very cute.
