Everest Base Camp Trek Dispatch
May 5, 2009 – On the Way to Pheriche
We left BAI headquarters in Pangboche the morning of May 5
A beautiful trail took us straight toward
Lhotse and Everest
We passed the small villages with our eyes on the mountains ahead
Our steps were steady and upward
The high mountain wind and sun kept our spirits high
Just before we reached Pheriche, 14,000 ft (4,200 m), we crossed a small bridge
Afternoon appetizers (with ketchup) in the lodge!
