With my broken trekking pole put away, I was free to look around. We were standing in a little (emphasis on little) clearing, with trees and rocks surrounding us. To my right was a big pile of rocks. It seemed that Bobby wanted to climb those rocks, but he had been told that it was his job to make sure everyone stayed right there and did not go wandering off. 😀 I had to keep reminding him not to leave while we waited for everyone else. Then he said he had to go to the bathroom, so I get stuck telling everyone that we all had to stay in the tiny clearing. LOL

By the time Bobby was back, we were all up there. We had all dropped our packs, so we were all just sitting on our packs waiting for the last people to get back from going to the bathroom. Then Jen and Katie told us we could go up over those rocks. I moved to the side just in time – I would have been knocked over by all the guys charging from behind me. 😀

Ok, just kidding there.

Mostly. 😀

When I got up there I was amazed! The view was so gorgeous! I remember turning to Jen and saying that it was amazing, and seeing her just nod her head.

*Let me just say, the cameras don’t show half of the beauty. You really have to go out there and see it with your own eyes. :)*

Once everyone had gotten enough pictures of the view, we gathered for a group photo. Rebecca and Tullia are not in this one, since for some reason they did not come up there for awhile.

Everyone reluctantly put their cameras away so we could climb down from there. There were a lot of people looking back as they left, hoping to catch one more glimpse of the beauty around us.

I left those rocks, blown away by the beauty I had seen. And completely unprepared for what was going to come next.
