Magnificent seven Summit Kilimanjaro

Jambo, friends, family, and loved ones,

We are arose at 11 PM , threw on our clothes on grabbed a bite to eat and headed up in the dark at midnight.the stars were amazing with the Milky Way high overhead. After several hours of charging iup in the dark, the sun came up.

We made our way to the summit of Kilimanjaro, the top of Africa.

From the Summit we dropped over 9000 feet over the course of the day to return back to the jungle. We were greeted with a freshly baked pie at camp!

We tumbled into bed and immediately fell asleep. 💤

All our best,Vern Tejas
