How awesome! Sounds amazing. I so envy you.
Everything about this is taking my breath away. Thank you thank you!!
Your posting stuff during this trek??? Damn!
I don't know anyone who's done more cool stuff than you have.
Can't feel my toes in the middle of the night, but fuck me if there isn't an Internet Cafe in every other Sherpa village.
