Faith Says…

Choosing to attend any trek or hike requires a personal decision. Going to Rurimeria should be a challenge we all need to take to assess our endurance.

It's a tough hike and equally interesting. As I approached the summit, I got to learn of a new condition(altitude sickness?) light headed, headache, hallucination, vomiting.😭

I remembered a friend had told me how hard it can get to a point of questioning your mental status. Going up was tremendously changing my attitude that I almost changed my mind and descend. The weather changed abruptly to cold, windy it was hard to keep balance🦵.

Stooping back to equal grounds gave us hope considering that we were going home, however, it was not that friendly: the steep hills were making my knees give way, shake and it was scary since falling was highly expected.

I appreciate the experience and sanity I get in hiking and trekking because it gives me a natural fulfillment.
