Trekking cont'd

Here are the rest of the trek photos:


The group (Everest in the background).
Mount Everest just to the right of the black mountain...it's further away so it doesn't look as tall as the others from this viewpoint. The pictures don't do it justice.
They use dry stone for all of the houses in these villages.


Another night of separate beds! Cute but cold room (no heat, so feels like you are sleeping outside since the windows are not sealed well).

Kim, our new hygienist friend from England
Yeti skull


Us, Teddy and our guides
Hospital (funded by donations)
Very well equipped!
They even have a maternity area.

They look like they are in cahoots about something.

This had to be the largest thing we saw carried on the trail...there are no cars in these villages so everything must be carried on these trails or flown in by helicopter (expensive). A refrigerator!!! These porters get paid by the kilo.

My new friend...he followed us for a while.
Another view of that short runway in Lukla.
Last night...playing Yaniv, which was our card game throughout the journey. I won the championship game. :) 
Early morning flight...not many lights for this check in process. 
Back in Kathmandu for 3 nights...headed to a reggae bar for Kim's birthday with everyone.

Last night in Kathmandu...we moved from the Radisson to another hotel just outside of town.
