This is us at the highest point on our trek, Kala Patter, 18500 feet. That’s Everest behind Eric.
Here we are yesterday morning at Base Camp. That’s Everest behind me.
And thinking that six days without a hot shower was enough, and since down would be a repeat of up (and extremely hard on various old joints) we opted for an exhilarating helicopter ride back to Lukla.
More when we have more reliable internet, but the Starbucks (a pretty good knock off) in Lukla seems pretty good! BTW for some odd reason there are some outstanding bakeries at the various villages along the trail.

Congratulations !! So proud of you …. Took a lot of courage and determination !! Proud and happy to be a part of your journeys … Be safe and have FUN … Ken & Penny
Thanks! Lots of stories to tell when we return. It’s been a fantastic trip so far! From the scenery to the many wonderful people we have met along the way, this truly has been a once in a lifetime experience.
You did it! What an achievement! Congrats!
The helicopter ride sounds exciting. What a great way to see the area and lots easier on the body. Going down can really be tough.
Enjoy the rest of your trip.

Thanks Art and Maureen! Enjoying some down time in Kathmandu before heading out to Lhasa. Today is a national holiday in Nepal. We are about ready to hit the streets and join in some of the celebrations.
Congratulations! Can’t wait to hear all of the stories!!
There are a few stories (and lots of photos). Happy to bore anyone interested with all of them when we return!
CONGRATS!!! You guys are looking great.
Thanks Jeremy! I think we will stick to places with hot showers and fully functional “Western style” toilets for the foreseeable future. No more lengthy treks! Having a wonderful time.
