Fall 2018 EBC Trek – Cheese Balls Acclimatize!

Namaste friends, family and loved ones,

Getting used to our new elevation of 11,300 feet was fun. We spent the morning exploring our environs. A pre-breakast stroll brought us to the scenic Everest view point above town. Our desire to see Everest was blocked by thick clouds. So we took photos of the Tenzing Norgay Sherpa. He was the first to summit Everest in 1953 with Edmund Hillary.

We climbed up to Sangbuche and descended to the Namche monastery. Museums and shopping filled out the rest of our day. To top our day off we had tradition Dahl Bhat for dinner. It was yummy!

Fun was had by all! Tomorrow we trek to the remote village off Thame.

All my best,Vern Tejas
