Acclimatization for Kilimanjaro

Acclimatization


Having a big  day in the "Acclimatization Tent" getting ready for the climb. We have this wonderful tent set up in our living room. We look like lab rats sitting in it. It is funny when someone comes up to the plastic window points and say's "I want that one." The tent is currently set to simulate 13,000 feet of elevation. The tent is in constant use by our expedition team members. You can even play Wii while hanging out  in the tent. The first day I got an "Altitude Headache" after just a couple of hours but now I am doing a lot better. I really want to make it to the summit. Oh by the way the Rotary installation banquet last night was great!
