For the blog-it’s about time I changed the theme and I like this one a lot.

Even though it’s not pink.

But it does have mountains and I’ve always dreamed of one day climbing a mountain.

Actually, 2 mountains in particular:

-the Matterhorn in Switzerland which is my IPAD background and

-Mt. Everest.

Let me tell you a little something about Mt. Everest.

I have dreamed of climbing that mountain ever since I was a little girl. Even though I know I would never do it in this system of things, it has always been something that has fascinated me.

I’ve watched a ton of documentaries regarding the climb and I know that your body will start to actively die when you are at those altitudes-your brain will actually start to swell, you can lose your vision (which is catastrophic if your very life depends on being able to see down where you are going) and even getting to base camp is perilous as the ice steps are treacherous.

But can you imagine the thrill of actually reaching the summit? To stand on the very highest point on Earth, to feel the wind roaring past you at temperatures so cold and in air so thin your lungs burn?

Can you imagine the majestic views of the Himalayas, the clouds?

I would love to eventually climb that mountain-maybe in paradise.

But then I hear about the corpses littered on the mountain and it’s frightening and scary.

The bodies of climbers who were never able to make it back down. Forever frozen into their spots.

The story of David the climber from England haunted me-and the video too! It’s terrible what happened to him.

Ok well, now I’m exhausted.

I’m going to bed!
