Hey!
Today, I would like to write about one of my hobbies. This hobby is hiking (or trekking) and I really enjoy it doing it. I did it many times in Canada. I did day hiking and also I did hiking during a week or so. I did the Chilkoot trail between the US and Canada. Do you remember that famous picture during the gold rush of 1895? We see in this picture peoples all lining up with big bag pack on their back. This is the trail that I did. I really enjoy my experience.
In 2008, I went to Nepal and I did Everest base camp. The first time I had Altitude sickness. This is not a good thing to have. I had few symptoms such as a headache, lack of appetite and nausea. I had to go back. I was at Dingboche at 4 400 meter (14 400 feet) when I had to go back. I was only at one night from Base camp. Two years later I decided to go back there and try it again Everest base camp. I didn’t want that the Nepalese mountains won over me. This time I made it and the privilege to sleep 2 nights at Everest base camp. I was healthy for the 3 weeks there. What a big change!
In September 2011, I will do the Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. I wanted to do it since I watched the movie was out in IMAX few years back. I read a book on it and I really looking forward to be at 5 895 m (19,336 ft) at the top where is that famous sign.
bye for now
