LINDA'S VIDEO OF OUR KILI CLIMB
The song "Kilimanjaro" was written and sung by my friends, Pat Humphries and Sandy O. In an amazing synchronicity, Pat and Sandy performed the song at Procter's Theatre in Schenctady on our summit night! Their music gave us a kind of psychic energy to continue climbing through the miserable weather. The porters and guides sing "Kilimanjaro" to us at 12,300 ft. Baraka starts to dance and calls for Chantel (a rugby player from England) and me to join him. So--I think this means we were initated into the Maasai warrior tribe! I hope you enjoy this video and it makes you feel as if you were there on Kilimanjaro with us!

We climbed Kili a couple years ago, a bibi and babu in our 70's, and were SO lucky to reach the summit, all of us. We fundraised for cancer, a Journeys of Inspiration trek with a superb guide and organization, and our weather was better than you suffered: rain and fog only for some days, but not all! And I'll never forget the cold. Babu Marty had a bit of HAPE at the summit rim, and prudently headed down, but Bibi Phyllis got to "dance" at Uhuru Peak. Every climb of Kili is different, but your blog brought back amazing memories. Thank you!
