Kilimanjaro: Tucker & Team Finish Descent and Prepare for Safari

As I write, the band is cranking here at the Dik Dik. We had a great departure from the mountain this morning with perfect weather.....again.
What a packed week we had up on the Roof of Africa?! To be a guest in a foreign county is something special and this group shined at embracing the local staff as friends, not just someone for hire. The local staff were all so much a part of our success; it was tough to say goodbye. The time you spend on these big mountains is extreme in many ways and you always learn something about yourself and others. It's a special and hard to describe experience.
Tomorrow we will continue to cut a swath through Tanzania as we head over to Lake Manyara National Park for our first day on safari. We're pumped!
Don't forget to kiss the Blarney before you're next adventure!

Congratulations to the invincible group of 10! We have been reading about your progress with great interest and are glad to know all went well with the climb (not that there was any doubt!). Can’t wait to see all of your photos and hear first hand from you about all of your African adventures. Cheers! Courtney and Carl

Wow! Down so quickly. Now on to see the wild things! Dad says to please bring him home a lion cub in honor of the fact that we are in Great Britain! (He first said for you to bring him a monkey.) Great private tour in the National Gallery tonight. “Men of the Docks” looks quite stunning in the gallery. River cruise, high tea and Bradley Cooper in “Elephant Man” tomorrow. We are already beginning to think about our next trip!
Love you! Mom
