not much to report today.
it is snowing, just started. big flakes.
MOM - dad is at 100%. you need not worry about him. and dad says to tell you "don't listen to alisa, i'm not going to have a brain clot."
CINDY - peter read your comment and just laughed. i'm not sure it motivated him enough. he says yes he is cheap. so cheap that he won't even buy lemon tea which costs less than 75 cents.
we got up this morning and did a little hike. just up and down to help acclimatize. i felt really good the whole time. i've finally gotten my walking legs.
one more day before the big day to everst base camp. we all feel like we've been away for a very long time. in one week and a day we will be flying home though. we've been talking about seeing our kids again. ian will get into cranbrook, he thinks, around 530am. he said he will just sit on the couch and wait till his girls wake up. it will be a nice reunion.
after our hike tomorrow we will have some very long days ahead of us. 8-10 hours walking.
thanks for telling Rob about the blog, glad you're up to date now!! can't wait to see the kids play together!
i guess that is all. no much happening in dingboche this afternoon. if there was a movie playing somewhere maybe i would go, but alas we are in the middle of nowhere. i'll have to go take a nap i guess.
oh yea, our guide has been calling sylvie "kanchhi baihni" which means "littlest daughter." he calls me just "baihni", meaning daughter. our guide sings a lot too. he is a good guide.

Annie, it's amazing how similar our travel experiences have been. Yesterday I hiked for 13 hours and had to acclimatize to Thunder Mountain, Matterhorn and even space Mountain all in one day. Luckily my cardio held together. I feel like I'm right there with you. It truly is a small world after all.
Glad you're all doing well.
Once you've climbed to the base camp of everest, what are you going to do next?

Annie,
Glad Dad is 100%. It will be the first time. Usually he runs around 87%.
Glad all is well.
It seems like you have been gone for weeks and weeks.
It is turning out to be a true adventure.
MOM
Hey I'm studying for my registered nurses exam in a few weeks, all I'm thinking about is physiology and pathology. And it is true that blood becomes more viscous at high altitudes so an embolism is possible depending on the crustiness of your arteries! Although sounds more like you ate something wonky on the way up. Stop drinking water out of the creek. This isn't Beazer you know.
Well, not to worry... as long as your life insurance is up to date.
Alisa.
hahaha...funny commentators. :o)

What a fun adventure. sheesh, doesn't Uncle Don know he is GETTIING OLD???
(tee,hee)
