The Sickness


C-rag and I have been laid up for the past two days from The Sickness. The Sickness is an all encompassing term for poopsies and general malaise. I think we are dying from an adverse reaction to the Japanese enchiladas vaccine or from the Buddha mountain water we have been drinking, Craig thinks we're fine. Well, we will just see in due time.
Before The Sickness hit us we climbed to the top of a mountain at Seoraksan National Park and hooooooey was that beautiful! This mountain climbing sojourn was different from my previous expeditions. I felt like I really climbed to the top, despite my fear of heights, rock stairs and carnivorous animals. I love mountains, I am obsessed with mountains, I have all my best moments on mountains.. if I were any part of nature I would be a mountain... yes Rusty you can pick one.
Ok I am going to go put myself to bed and read my books.

New Schedule:
Wed and Thurs: we are going to Inje
Friday: Long boat to China. (we had to postpone due to The Sickness,China will not hesitate to quarantine your ass for weeks if need be) We'll probably stay in Beijing for a week and then take a train to Mongolia. I know Beijing will be amazing but I am really excited about getting to Mongolia.
