Viewing Post for: Everest Base Camp #1 & #2
Date: Thursday, October 11
Location: Namche Bazaar, 13,300 feet, 6 hours of walking.
We turned the corner and there through the pines, on the side of an impossibly steep hill.... Namche! It is like a city to us. We are in hotel in the middle of town. Stone hotels are packed into the hillside with brightly painted windows. The winding, very narrow stone walks, a loaded with people, yaks, donkeys carrying duffels. You have to dodge all as you work your way around town.

I hope you’re doing well and staying strong through the thin air. I look forward to reading the blog updates. They literally give me goosebumps! Love the history attached. Calvin and I leave for London and Paris today for his fall break. We were supposed to go as a family over the summer and to celebrate my 50th, but had to postpone b/c I found out I had breast cancer. I’ll be checking back often to see how you’re doing. Sending love and strength.

J'ai vu la photo du groupe ainsi que les yaks, elles sont superbes. Il faut profiter de votre journée pour se reposer un peu de cette aventure qui doit être parfois éprouvante. J'ai hâte de te revoir pour que tu puisses me raconter des détails de cette passionnante expédition.

Don't forget hit up the bakeries! I remember the bakery with the red awning in the middle of town at Namche because I'm pretty sure Garth and I went there three times. It had good coffee, treats and a western style bathroom! Happy traveling! Can't wait to read more updates!

I hope you are doing well with the elevation and taking it slow and steady! you are already at quite a high elevation, thinking of you and can't wait to hear about it! Darren just found out that he has a VIN number assigned to him so there is a Tesla with his name on it somewhere out there! He's quite excited. Love and miss you!

Talked to Susan -she said Rory loved learning about Everest - if you can get a prayer flag and plant it at base camp for Rory - that would be great. It sounds amazing! Wow - you got to see Everest! Take care and stay strong. Love Shannon

Cela doit est merveilleux de découvrir le Mont Everest comme vous le faites !! Je pense que vous devez être un groupe harmonieux et soudé et que la bonne humeur est de rigueur dans cette aventure que vous vivez au quotidien ... Soyez respectueux de l’environnement ce que je ne doute pas un seul instant. I miss you and love you !

This sounds like the trip of a lifetime. I am so very jealous of all you are doing and seeing. I would especially like to spend time in the villages and shopping. How wonderful it must be to meet people from all over the world. I am living vicariously through both of you. Stay safe. Margie
