Day 7 On our final day, we woke up feeling stronger than ever before after blissful sleep surrounded by the sounds of the rain forest. Our 4-5 hour slow descent on muddy trails brought us to the foot of colobus monkey communities, old twisted trees, and a thousand shades of green. We found time to ask questions of our guides, to understand their experiences on Kilimanjaro. We arrived at the Mweka Gate, and shared lunch at an artists' studio. During the Appreciation/ Tipping Ceremony, we sang and danced to thank our porters, guides, cook who had pulled us up to summit. And then we said goodbye, the mountain still a force connecting us. 53
