| Mt. Everest |
Tashi Deley is a greeting in the small villages in the mountains of Nepal past Lukla. It's been a while since I posted and I promise to write more things about India soon but I need to get this post out of the way! For our birthdays this year we booked a trekking trip in the Nepal Himalayas. We didn't have any training, we didn't have many expectations except to hopefully catch a glimpse of Mt. Everest. We certainly didn't expect to get diarrhea (our tummies finally got used to living in Delhi!), we didn't expect to get altitude sickness, we didn't expect a horrendous 7 hour uphill climb on only our 2nd day. But we also didn't expect being held captive of the beauty of the mountains which are like no other place on earth. We also didn't expect such a rewarding feeling of accomplishment at the end of the 7 day trek.

Oh honey, you look SO miserable in those first ones!!! I have to say though, wow! So darn pretty. Looks like quite a trip for you and Gleen.
