Greetings from Nepal! We arrived in Deboche yesterday at about 12,000 feet elevation. Today we walked back up to the Tengboche monestery are received a blessing from the Rinpoche and had a chocolate donut at the bakery nearby! It snowed a bit last night but was warmer (50 degrees) today. Lots of Yak and treker traffic on the trail. Most of our small group is in good health, some mild upper respiratory ills, I may be getting also. No altitude problems for Kurt or I so far. They will have internet at Dingboche which is our next destination about 1500 feet higher. Incredible views of Everest and Lhotse plus Ama Dablam. Have to RUN back down the hill for dinner! That's all for now.
