went hiking with megan on sunday. it's a hike i've done a few times so i didn't bother to bring my camera. when am i going to learn to always bring my camera!!

so there we are hiking - hiking gear on, lots of water, breathing hard, sweating like mad, when we see something move in the distance. it's africa so it could have been anything from a zebra to a leopard to a thief to a big-ass snake. we suddenly see a bundle of wood floating in the air. we then see a woman's head. what a relief. we see a woman, around 40 years old in flip flops walking towards us. she has no water, no 'hiking gear' and doesn't seem hot nor tired. she has a huge bungle of wood on her head. she passes us and contiues down the moutain. the sight was stunning - and i didn't have my camera. megan and i laugh at each other. how mnay years would it take before we could hike a mountain, cross over to the village in the next valley in flip flops with a 20lb+ bundle of wood balanced on our heads? i attempt a twig. it falls after a few seconds.
