JAMBO!
So i guess my post i tried to do from botswana didn't work so well...
but to fill you in, both mom and i made it to the summit of mount kilimanjaro on the morning of the 21st!!! woohooo! and we did it in good time and a day earlier than expected :) but our world's best guides and perfect weather are to be greatly accredited! so now we have an extra day here in moshi then will head off to the ngoragora crater tomorrow. maybe a bit frostbitten and bruised, but my toes are all on my feet and legs are still sorta working...
first we spent a day with some masai people

| lookin good at 94 years old |
then to begin our climb:
 |
| start: the rainforest with the welcoming calls of monkeys |
 |
| world's best guides: Gift and Arnold |
 |
| getting closer... |
 |
| cold, dark trek to the summit |
 |
| and we made it! all 5895 m |
 | | |
| our sweet porters and guides sang us goodbye songs |
