Cry and Get On With It

I thought we were going to be hiking, but this was real mountain climbing. Like the clinging to the side of the mountain, probably should have had ropes or something kind of mountain climbing.
I’ll have photos soon.

I learned to do business like a man. And got really great at it.
But, it hurt. A lot.
