On August 22, we were in the perfect place to commemorate an anniversary for Tim and I. We entered the Eisenhower Tunnel on Route 70E in Colorado. One of the world's highest vehicular tunnels, we loved that it transported us past the Continental Divide* in the Rockies. (As Tim and our friend Christopher say, "It's all downhill from here!")But, it also felt fitting to be at elevation (the tunnel's maximum height is 11,158 ft) since it was exactly one year to the day of Tim's proposal on the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania (19,341 ft). I still have the handmade sign he made on the cover of Ernest Hemingway's "Snows of Kilimanjaro."
*The Continental Divide separates the watersheds that drain into the Pacific and the Atlantic.
