Hiking the volcano

So on the 5th of July, I went with some friends (including Mike from Vandy) to hike up this volcano (inactive) and then walk around the crater. I proved 2 things with that little adventure: 1) I am out of shape (or at least very not used to the altitude). I huffed and puffed all the way up. To make matters worse, there was a high school class that made it up and most of the way down my the time I was half way. 2) I have a massive fear of heights. We were up pretty high, and the trail around the crater is a pretty steep dropoff. I couldn't make it all the way around once the path really narrowed. I had to turn around and go back.

I did get to see a water buffalo, which was cool. And the pictures are great, but heights, not so much. Proves I won't be hiking up Kilimanjaro!
