Mountains

Climbing mountains is one of my simple joys in life. Last April 21, 2011, the mountains changed me, as I was able to meet the love of my life on where else, but on the Philippines' highest peak, Mt. Apo. Meeting him was unplanned and unexpected - something I've only had in my wildest dreams. Here's the accounts of the various mountains I've climbed and I will be adding more to these, in time.
