      Hellodlie-odlie-oooooo!!! I have a feeling I've been left behind (Sally/ Bio/Jimmie4 on Mt Kilimanjaro, though I couldn't see you pass. I took a detour to investigate some of the sights, with not so much climbing, then found a maze of steps leading to a series of small caves which of course I had to investigate. There were over 500 steps!!! 1 individual staircase going up this cliff was 42 steps a stretch before it had a platform to the next!! (Will post pics when disposable camera is used up)


      Anyway, I'm at 1433 as of last night, and sore as bleep! (Partly the stairs, partly a lot of hiking) Where are you now?

                Not only am I addicted. Now I go out of my way to find steps. I had to go someplace yesterday morning before work. It was very windy and rainy, a miserable day. I parked in the back lot, way in the back, just to climb the steps. I could have parked right in front of the building, 5 feet away from the door. But nooooooooo. I am so much more conscious about steps now. I am a bit looney I think.
