One of my goals in life is to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. It is the highest mountain in Africa. Do you like mountain climbing?
I never have. It sounds like a lot of work! Is it dangerous to climb Mount Kilimanjaro?
I would imagine so. More recently it has been the subject of scientific studies because of its shrinking glaciers and diminishing ice fields. Have you ever been to Africa?
No i have never been overseas at all. I would love to go to Africa and see some of their exotic animals. What sorts of animals are there to see there?
Haha. I have never been either. The closest I have been is watching Madagascar and the television series The Penguins of Madagascar!
Well, I hope one day you make it there to climb the mountain. Are there mountains near you that you have climbed?
