Got a call at 3:30 am DC time from Roma that she and David had reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro!!!

It was about 30 degrees and they walked the last seven hours in the snow. They were worn out but thrilled to make the summit!!!! Only about 30% of all who take this trip ever make it to the top. Roma said now she knows why! Ha! The organizer of the expedition said they were in excellent shape. They were having lunch and then starting down.

After a safari of a couple of days, they will be home. Arrival day in DC is June 5.

Both said they appreciated so much all of the support and encouragement from their family and friends. Never could have made it without YOU!!
