I took pictures of the local scenery, which was mostly ferns and moss--and found it fascinating! The mountain was a lush tropical forest, and it felt great to be surrounded with greenery almost every step of the way.
I also met cool new people, fellow lovers of the great outdoors. The total attendance was around 60. Some of them became new friends!
I learned that I need to go back jogging! The climb wasn't supposed to be very tiring (based on what I remembered when I last climb Cristobal two years ago), but it just sapped me of my strength. It was exhausting.
Still, I had tons of fun! I also learned that tomatoes can a good tinola make. Surprising but true.
