Everest wrap-up - 24 & 25 October 2008

The rest of the trek went off without a hitch.  We made it down from Namche to Phakding, and stayed in the same room in the same hotel.  From Phakding we made it down to Lukla, and since there wasn't anything new to see I don't really have any pictures.

As we descend we both start to feel better, sleep better, and we regain our appetite.  It was a tremendous experience, but it's also an affirmation that I'm not interested in climbing the really high mountains.  Maybe we made it to 19,000 feet but that's only 2/3 of the way to the top of Everest - and we were both miserable.

I've put up the Himalaya gallery - I hope you enjoy it.
