Today I got a surprise call from David Still at around 8am. He and Gary sang a rousing chorus of Happy Birthday to 8 year old Olivia. What a treat! And they sounded pretty good - considering the lack of oxygen where they are.
This afternoon at 4:37pm we received a text message update from the guide:
"Jambo from Kilimanjaro! We are doing very well. The weather is fantastic. Wageni (guests) are fine but pole pole sana (very slow). Life is good on Kilimanjaro."

Tomorrow, Monday, is the grueling ascent to the summit (can be a 10+ hour trek for the pole pole sans wageni) and then down into the Crater (another 1-2 hours' hike) where they will camp at the foot of the Furtwangler Glacier. Send good vibes!
