alive and well!

We made it to Tanzania safely (and sooooo ready to be off of a plane after 25 hours of flying) and have since climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro. I will be reporting my experience on the mountain soon but only have a few minutes of internet now. Keith's blog will have a much different report, I'm sure. :) So far, our trip is amazing. After the initial and expected culture shock, we are now relaxing and looking forward to going on a safari in a few days. We are in a town at the base of Kilimanjaro called Moshi. It is busy and hectic and colorful. We are staying at a backpacker's hotel that has a rooftop bar with a direct view of the mountain...it is crazy that we just climbed that a few days ago. My knees are still recovering from descending 14,000 feet in 8 hours. And my body is still recovering from being bathed after 7 days on a mountain. Yikes! Pictures and update coming!!!
