internet, yaks

Hello Everyone,
The group has finished the trek and we are now at Namche. I will have more post after I return to Kathmandu covering the journey. Everyone had a fabulous time and we all grew close. I will leave you with this. I am sitting in a room about 10 feet by 14 feet wide. There are 3 computers, a poster of Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzin Norgay (the first to climb Everest). To the left of the poster is a yak skull hanging on the wall, Tibetan prayer flags, and a T-shirt that says " no money no wallet". When I look out the door the stone, dirt walkway yeilds yaks carrying loads, a cow looking off to the distance, his thoughts 1000 miles away. A broken clock ticks but the hands stay in one place at 4:30. Yes time has stopped.

More blogs to come about the trip.

    Can't wait to swap leads and catch up. It's sunny here in Seattle. Come home, there's climbing to do and we miss you.
