New audio update from TA on Everest.

This is the text of TA’s audio message:

Hi this is TA calling in from Everest base camp for the last time on this expedition.  We welcomed home our summiteers from all points higher than this, and hearing their stories, and seeing their pictures, and we are feeding them all kinds of new and interesting foods.  Not necessarily new to the expedition but new to them as they have not seen some of these foods in awhile, we are trying to get them all plumped up.  A bunch of us are going to head down valley tomorrow, we are concerned about the crush in Lukla with the on coming of the monsoon and the down coming of all these expeditions over the next while.  So a bunch of folks, just like us, have been packing bags and trying to figure out what we need for our trek out to Kathmandu, and what will be packed in our bags and go down on Zopkios.  So it has been an exciting day here, congratulations again to our summiteers that we have welcomed back Hugo, Carina, Peter, Ming-mar, and Phur-ba is believe is the name of the other Sherpa.  And lots of good wishes and good luck, and wishes to return safely to our team 2 who will be beginning their second summit push tomorrow as they head up to camp 3.  That’s the scoop here, hope you are all having a great day.  Thanks again to all of you for staying with me for these two months, I will continue to blog as we head back down and I will keep you posted on how things are going.  Take good care, catch you tomorrow.
