Higher, Higher, Higher

First view of Everest.  (tiny triangle in the background) From the Everest View Hotel. 

 Cake is taken very seriously at this hotel...

 This lady was knitting hats.  Got one.

Morning at 13,800 feet.  Trouble breathing, trouble eating, trouble... well I'll leave it at that.

  1. Chris, This picture makes you look like a giant, much bigger than the guest house. Is the food you are eating or the t-angle? Love all the updates. Love, Mom/Grama

  3. Andrew (nephew) says, "Hi, I miss you. I hope you come back soon. Don't fall off a cliff." [disclaimer] actual quote.

  4. Hope you are doing well. There has been a fairly steady stream of co-workers stopping by and expressing well wishes. Almost all are immediately followed by expressions of extreme jealousy. The greatest outward show of envy by far, was Carol. Keep warm and well oxygenated!

  8. I met your mom in MI this summer at Training for Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. She passed this link to your blog on so my kiddos here in Alaska can see your adventure! Awesome and remember that Amara, 7, Joey, 9 and Rosie, 12 are rooting for you and fascinated with your trip!
