October 30, 2009 – Memories of Our Trek to Pumori — Part 1
This is Leila Silveira reporting on my last day in Kathmandu. Before leaving I would like to share some special moments from our trekking team. I thought that images would be the best way to describe them.
So, here they are! I hope you will enjoy them!
