Last Day of Our Trek, and All is Well!

It has been a while since we have posted, and for good reason. There was nowhere to post from!

This will be a short post as it costs a bundle to email here way up in the clouds of Lukla, Nepal (Khumbu region) and we will post a more extensive update when the price is right--possibly Kathmandu (if we are able to due to the political situation) or Bangkok.

In all we climbed and descended over 35,000' (70,000' total!), which is pretty amazing. I wanted to completely give up several times along the way as it was far more difficult than either of us had bargained for. But we stuck with it and feel pretty amazing, albeit tired.

We hit a major snowstorm while up in Gokyo and it was pretty scary hiking out. But here lower down in altitude, it is springtime; you would never know that it snowed as much as it did. Several people have reportedly died above Everest Base Camp due to the weather. We saw and heard many rescue helicopters in the past week and are thankful we were not in them.

Thanks for all your amazing comments! We love reading them.

More updates to come!
