three at the topIt was a cold night.  Now we are headed back to Katmandu with some good days in between.  Today we  go to Tengbuche, the largest monastery in the Khumbu area.  It is mostly downhill.  Spirits are high.  We are all well supplied with O2.  Yesterday we called in live to the local radio, PXY in Rochester so people could hear us on their drive to work.  It is wonderful to see how many have checked in with us each day.

I'm going to check the monastery on the internet. It must be beautiful. Did you record for the radio station in Rochester? What fun! You always put 100% into everything you do and I'm sure you're having the experience of a lifetime. I love you, Mom

Namaste from London!

Congratulations to one and all in the team! Well done! Can't wait to hear all about this trip and see all the photographs.
I am really pleased you guys have again managed to alter your plans and decided to spend a night in Tengboche! It is an amazing place perched on a strategic ridge with the most beautiful Monastery in Kumbhu.
I am sure you will agree once you have paid your visit and lighted a butter lamp - most beautiful and exquisite statue of Buddha! Please visit the shop next door and if time permits, watch the small film on the place.
Take care! Lots of Love - Team X

Thank you for all the wonderful updates, especially the audio messages. I'm having so much fun listening to you and reading about where you are and what you're up to. I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. Gaylinn, I'm having fond memories of the Thanksgivings that we shared at my house. Take good care all. Stay warm and happy!

Hello Lisa - We checked out Tengboche Monastery and it looks amazing. So, as you guys begin the descent - no doubt your spirits will continue their ascent. What an amazing journey you're experiencing. I am in awe of the mountains seen in the pictures - absolute total awe. It's hard to imagine how it must feel to be standing up close and personal in all that Himalayan majestic beauty. Enjoy the trekking that remains - every minute. Sending Thanksgiving for all you've shared. We continue to think of you. Can't wait to hear all about this when I seen you in December. Namaste. Betsy and June

Yay for you all!

Hi Lisa, It has been so much fun to check in with you each day and hear/read about the highlights of the day. I love the specifics you have all shared, but I can't wait to see the photos and hear your stories. Enjoy the decent. Wow it seems to have gone so quickly. Does it feel like that for you? Take good care. Maureen
