Only 3 1/2 hours today but a long steep downhill followed by a long steep uphill that was almost entirely stairs, 1982 stairs to be exact. Yes, I had nothing better to do. We have the afternoon to wash up, do a little laundry and rest. This is the first day that I have been able to send the blogs. I am happy to be able to share the writing with Susan. This way you get more than just the facts. Two more nights then back to Kathmandu.

- It was a tough day for me, hot and up! I think all the climbing is catching up to me. I am very tired. It is amazing to see the animals, donkeys,horses, goats and sheep negotiate the same steps that we are struggling with. Yesterday we watched as a shepherd tried to get his flock across a scary log bridge which I had a hard time getting over. The first two Billy's went over the next one fell down onto the Glacier and had to be fished out. Finally they all got across. I never anticipated the heat and humidity. We have very few clean clothes left and those that are in the laundry bag have fermented! We are ready to head home but what a journey! Wondering about baseball and Presidents Cup and not missing Trump drama. Have no idea what is going on in the world. Had a wonderful lemon meringue pie last night. Peg made the best one of these that I have ever tasted but under the severely limited circumstances these guys cook under, it was great. I am completely amazed at the flowers at each village, a fustian taller than me, marigolds 4 feet by 4 feet multiple marijuana plants thrown. It is tea time. You will here from us soon.
