Stomach issues still haven’t cleared up? I’m praying that all of you will be well and back to normal soon. At least the weather seems to be cooperating. Good luck on getting to base camp!

Hey Guys! Loved reading about your trek—it’s so fun to be able to really know where you are and remember what it all looked like and felt like!! You never get over the views!! Spectacular!! Hope your tummies all feel better—I remember THAT part too—oh so well! Hope you all feel better soon. Don’t forget you have a Z-pac like I did! Anyway, thinking about you all and so glad everything is going well. Hope everything continues to go well going forward too. Enjoy!! XOXO, Lucy

You all look so happy and excited…I’mexcited for you…WOW…Mt. Everest…what could be more exciting than that. I hope to trek to EBC in 2015. FYI…I’m an animal lover. It seems the Yak does a lot of hard work for the climbers…and even provides fuel to cook the food of climbers. Are Yaks treated well? Are Yaks nourished well? I just hope Yaks receive the TLC for all the hard work they do for the climbers. I know the climbers bring in money to help the people and animals of Nepal….and thst’s a good thing. Love the photos…I will be watching all of you from Southern California until you summit and return to base camp. May God Bless you and keep you safe.

Can’t believe you are smiiling or much less eating dinner with the aroma of burning Yak dung!

SO wonderful to be able to read about your days - and more importantly, see that you are all happy and well. Thank you for the beautiful photos. I have enjoyed them (and they put my mind at ease :) ) All is well here - have a wonderful adventure and continue ...for with every step that you take, you inspire all who know you.

Ahhh…I remember the scent of freshly laundered clothes….hung out to dry over the Yak dung piles! Hope you get to enjoy the sunroom and take a look at the Pheriche clinic on your “rest” day (and hopefully not for the “Khumbu Flu”! ;)
Glad you all received your Lama Geshe blessings- It’s great to see the pics…and hope you get to have just one more shower stop in Lobuche!
We are thinking of you-Keep on climbing!!! xo

Great views with good weather! Namche looks like it might slide off the cliff, though. Have a great time!
