Team Old Dogs, New Tricks Makes it back safely to Arusha

Hello Folks!

This is Paul Koubek, writing in to report that "Team Old Dogs, New Tricks" made it back safe and sound to Arusha after the entire team summited and descended to the Mweka Gate.

It seems that some of our Cybercasts were late to post – sorry for that and our office is working to correct this problem – all seem to be up now.

Here’s photos of the team on the summit, and of our celebratory cake made by our cook Raymond at the teams arrival to Millenium Camp.

Thanks for following our cybercast!
