We were sort of in luck
as the mountain was closed. Meaning that
we were able to climb to the top without
any kind of interference. Jo (one of the
others) and I set out for the top. I wanted
to know what it was like to pass through
the clouds up where there was snow and nothing
to hear. Away from the cars and commotion
of the city. It was a refreshing change.
Well prepared with water and a lunch, Jo
and I made our way almost to the top. It
is so hard climbing mountains because you
work so hard to climb upwards that after
a few feet you are exhausted and feeling
like you haven't even gone anywhere. We
were surrounded by snow in our t-shirts
because we were so warm. We got to the bottom
of the highest crater. We sat in silence
for a long time looking over the virgin
snow covering the slopes we worked so hard
to reach. It was one of the greatest moments
of my vacation.
