4 snaps from last week in the Rwenzori Mountains for the coffee harvest. 🍒🏔️☕️

(YES, I finally got new shoes to replace the ones that lost a sole, and they’re perfect for hiking!)

This ⬇️ My last 6 months in Korea, I lived in a goshiwon (고시원 - shoebox-sized room) because I had no need for anything more than a bed, shower and closet for my things.

Life happens outside the home. You live in coffee shops and restaurants.

I miss it 🙏

Insurance people on here:

Why is it that damage to a front tooth is covered by medical insurance, but damage to a front tooth crown is “cosmetic”?

Did it suddenly stop being functional when it’s a crown?

Unrelated: I need a ka small grant of UGX 6.3 mio for a tooth implant. 😵‍💫

Back in Kampala, but feeling the urge to go hiking again. Where to next? 🤔

This is your sign to start following the updates on Cheruiyot Kirui, who is attempting to be the first African to summit Everest without supplemental oxygen.

Man has a very impressive resume ⬇️

Congratulations to all the finishers & the organizers of the The Legends Marathon today.👏👏

I had major FOMO, but spent the day hiking with another type of legends:

Coffee farmers who carry 50 kg of coffee cherries from their gardens at 1800 m.asl.

All so I can get cappuccino. 🙏

Raphael Okiot cannot be brought back to life, but our jurisprudence and public policy should evolve to meaningfully provide for wrongful death (and criminal negligence) in such circumstances.

In my opinion, and in no particular order, liability should be considered for three

Happy birthday, Simon Peter Kasyate! 🥳🥳

As birthday present, I’ll make sure to remind everyone that they can blame you when they’re climbing the ka hill to Kilembe during this year’s new marathon route for Tusker Lite Rwenzori Marathon. 😂😂😂

😂😂😂

This is where your cappuccino comes from!

Been spending my time at 1800 m.asl. for the past few days, talking to coffee farmers in the Rwenzori mountains.

Learning so much about the coffee value-chain and seeing tons of fresh red coffee cherries! 🍒☕️

Thank you Maren for creating this thoughtful database

May God bless you with a zillion cups of coffee

Greetings from the coffee harvest in the Rwenzori mountains ☕️

I bought my Canon 6D with a sizeable chunk of my student loan in 2012.

It was キヤノン株式会社's first 'affordable' full-frame DSLR, and for the past 12 years, it has been my sidekick.

Now, it's literally falling apart, so I'm facing the reality that I have to replace it.

But with what?

My dearest Maren, who gave you visa to my home without my knowledge? I need to do some reshuffles.

That said, enjoy the peace, clean air and the people.

Oh! And coffee, too.

And well done to you and the team at Tusker Lite Rwenzori Marathon on the great news today. 🥳💥

To all of you haters who say you shouldn’t drink coffee after 5pm:

Me and my iced latte sends our love from Fort Portal.

Next stop: Rwenzori coffee harvest. ☕️

I’ve seen WhatsApp videos of mountains of red cherries 🍒 so it’s time to go inspect them myself.

We were present at today's historical launch of the World Athletics certification of 3 routes in Kasese for the Tusker Lite Rwenzori Marathon
Congratulations to the Team led by Amos Wekesa Maren Julius Nkuraija Colline Masiga
To be able to qualify from home is of significant importance to us

To all runner friends: If there ever is a truly excotic Marathon you should participate in, this is the one!

Having worked in the national park at the foot of this equatorial mountain range 🏔️ I can only tell you: This is as gorgeous as the 🌎 can offer🐘🐘
