Update from Nanche Bazar

All goes well here. It is a bit cold but tolerable. We did another 4 hour acclimatization hike today. The Tea house here is very nice with good food. The bulk of the group, on a schedule one day ahead of us left today for the next stop a bit higher up. We will follow tomorrow. The look of the countryside (Khumbu region) here is much like Tibet. We see many rhododendrons but few blooming yet. Snow is evident on the big peaks, but none here. Most of the animals seem to be healthy, though many of the dogs look a bit thin. Nothing some good Veterinary care couldn't fix!That's all for now!
