the reason why

There is a reason why I haven't been able to update ask much as I'd like... in brief, it is because I've been hiking 15,000ft snow-capped active volcanoes like Cotopaxi (Ecuador's highest active volcano)



I'm from Mississippi which means I don't know the meaning of snow or cold or anything that freezes. In this 2 day hike to the summit I could feel my lungs do cartweels in my chest angry that I thought defying gravity was a good idea. I made it, finally.. and as much as I hated it at first, it was an amazing experience.

I also hiked another crazy mountain (14,000 ft) and have been hitchiking- I'll explain later, but right now I've got to figure out a way to the jungle....
