I'm back in North Dakota and am looking forward to seeing the new Cohan Brothers movie at the retro Bijou Showhouse in Beach, ND tonight. It's good to be back. We're in the same apartment as last year, but some things around town have changed. Most notably the white and pink houses that used to be next to the Cowboy Cafe and across the street from it are gone. The Rough Rider hotel is starting to build its addition and needed more space for that and a new parking lot across the street. I wish it were open right now so I could have an exquisite steak and some delicious lava cake. For that, I'll have to wait until late April.
Today Nathan's Grandpa told us that Ann Curry from the Today show is climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. From the website, it looks like she's at Machame Camp right now - the first camp we stayed at, which means she may be climbing the same route we did. I heard it would take eight days - much longer than the normal 6 days. The great thing is that they'll be reporting on the majestic Kilimanjaro Glaciers, which may disappear by the year 2020. I hope they're not planning to spend an extra day at the top because I don't think a crew used to the nice conditions of Studio 1A will be able to make it through a night of far below freezing temps. Anyway, good luck to them!

In the background, you can just faintly hear the porters singing the Jambo song - a hilarious song they sing to tourists all over Tanzania & Kenya. Here's what it is - just replace "Kenya" with "Tanzania" or "Kilimanjaro" and you'll be hearing the same thing we did all over the place. Click on "Jambo" to hear the song:
