Acclimatization

Well for the 2-3 people who read this, today was a very low key day. The whole group slept in and had a late breakfast. Mila (pronounced My la, our guide) led us on a short expedition to this illustrious viewpoint where we saw Everest for the first time! It was surrounded by multiple other world record mountain tops. There was an interesting red statue of Tenzing Norgay one of the first men to top Everest. After that we hiked down to the village below us, ~700m straight down to pick up post cards and trinkets. The hike back up was not as bad as yesterday but still left us huffing and puffing. I somehow developed raging heartburn that my be exercise induced. After that Ben and I enjoyed a Sherpa beer and taught our guides and porters how to play Dutch Blitz. Tomorrow is another big hiking day. Not sure if the next spot has WiFi but stay tuned!!
