Frank with TibetanHow do you describe what it is like to sit in a monastery with monks beneath towering peaks of snow and above yaks bringing supplies from Tibet?  Timeless, juniper smoke and incense.

Answers to your questions.  10:45 hours time difference to the east coast.  Yes, we ate in the great bakery you mentioned in Namche, power went out there.  No, we  did not meet Mima sherpa but we  are enjoying friendships with others.

We may not be able to post for a couple of days as we will be down in a canyon and may not be able to get a satellite signal.

Hey Lisa. Sounds like you're having a great adventurer. Enjoy everything there - I'm sure your time is flying by. On the Today Show - Ann Curry is having a tough time climbing on Killimanjaro right now - didn't prep I bet. She, unlike you, is only used to the star treatment. By the way, Mary and I will keep Mark company on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Have a happy and safe trip......
