Made it out! alive (sorry Mary!)

Hi all
We made it out of Africa today. I am in Amsterdam with Kathy and a few of the hiking crew (Peggy, Larry, and Troy), and the rest have headed home for their (eh gads!) jobs! Short overview is that the hike was great, the people were great, all of the guys are sick from all the dust and volcanic ash, and most everybody made the summit (and those who didn't easily made their best vertical by several thousand feet). Big mountains are a whole different ballgame even from something like the 14'ers in Colorado...altitude sickness, brutal cold, punishing sunlight rays... I'm borrowing a PC at the hotel right now, but as soon as I can get to an Internet cafe here in Amsterdam I'll start putting up my blog of the trip itself. All kinds of fun stuff to write home about!

Lumpy out
