Hi this is TA and Marian calling in from Lobouche after a wonderful reunion, getting to share some pictures and experiences after a couple weeks apart.  She and Nadia are here one day in advance of Leslie and Dan, and I popped down for a night to breathe slightly thicker air and see these guys.  They will now wait for Leslie and Dan tomorrow and then head on up to base camp.  It was a lovely little walk today coming down, it is always so much easier going down then up, funny how that goes.  Found the movement good for my brain, tension, excitement, nervousness, and butterflies are all about base camp in advance of our summit bids, so it is nice just to get out and move.  I was searching for mantras in my mind that I might use over the next little while and at one point I even took to singing them, so it was a great walk down and I will walk back to base camp tomorrow.  I will probably have to use some of those mantras tomorrow as I will be gaining back those 400m or so that I gave back today, I will get them tomorrow and in practice I will get back all those metres I gave up when I came back from camp 3.  So all is well, it is great to spend time today with Marian and Nadia and I will catch you from base camp tomorrow.  Thanks, have a great day, and again Happy Mothers Day, and thanks to Applecore Interactive for their help with the web site and for helping me be here.  Special Hi to Deb and Vilma at Applecore from all of us here in Lobouche.  Thanks, bye.
