"Joints In Motion" CARE Team Gokyo Trek Dispatch
November 15, 2009 – Memories of Our Trek: Part 1
This is Temba sending photos of our Gokyo trek. The group has made it back safely to the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu. After a wonderful farewell dinner in Lukla, the team had the opportunity to say good-bye to their crew and eat a yummy congratulation cake! We have had some relaxation time as well as some shopping in Thamel. It has been a great journey with this team.
