So, I suddenly realized that I am leaving the country in less than 2 weeks, and there are a LOT of things left to do.
Most of my planning at this point seems to involve not my Nigeria trip, but my little jaunt over to East Africa afterward. I am meeting my friends Megan and Brian at the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro after I leave Nigeria, and we're going to hike the famous mountain. This involves some cold, potentially snowy and rainy conditions at the top, not to mention the very low partial pressure of oxygen.
I've been trying to get together the gear I'll need for this cold hike, which is a bit pricey and pretty comical when friends notice me packing my down jacket for my africa trip.
One of my attending surgeon's wife hiked Kilimanjaro last year and is graciously lending me her sleeping bag and trekking poles, and giving me a lot of advice!
