Len with Ama Dablam in the background
“Rest day climb - first real look at Ama Dablam and Mt Everest before returning back to Namche. We had a beautiful morning to trek and visited a museum in the village about Sherpa life and the Sherpa climbing community. After lunch it rained for the first time during the expedition. A good time for a nap. I’m still asleep at about 10:00 pm and up at 2:00 am. Jet lag and nine hour time zone change has my internal clock confused. We are honoring 25 Hopecam children during this expedition and Namche is the last major village we will experience before arriving at Everest base camp, so it was a major shopping day to bring back shirts - patches - hats etc. More weight but I’m very thankful for the porters carrying our excess gear. Today was also laundry day: last day to machine wash our dirty gear from three days trekking. Tomorrow we leave for Pangboche. Thanks to Elm Street Development for sponsoring today!”
