Wow, the beauty here goes in new directions everyday. Although the helicopter view of Mt Everest was a life experience trekking to the nearby village yesterday was amazing the clouds hung above and sometimes below us the whole way and we followed one of the many rivers they call milky rivers because of all the silt and the fact that it is one constant rapid flowing faster than any river I have ever seen. We crossed a bridge over the river at a point where it was just 15 to 20 feet wide it had carved holes in the side walls. It was loud and powerful and just a bit scary but the bridge was metal and very safe. There are no words or really pictures for what we see every day but I hope the few photos you get to see give you a good look into this beautiful place. The first hike yesterday was long and feet and backs got tired but a lot of sleep and one more rest day and off we go on our next adventure. Once again thank for your comments it's the first thing we look for. Being here I really know what it is like having my head in the clouds. Love to all! Rebecca (miss you James and Bobbi Jo)

When I saw the photo of the MOUNTAIN I was stunned. I am so amazed that you are there! What a fantastic time it sounds like you are having. Granny Bee called me, Rebecca, and she is so proud and excited for you! I'll be sending her (and Mom) your most recent blogs tomorrow. We are all watching and enjoying your adventures vicariously. The food sounds wonderful. Mmmm curry! Love it. Can't wait for more news. Yer sis.
Rebecca, I hope you get this message. Signing up as a "blogger" is more complicated tha I thought. I was so happy to get Bobbi Jo's message w/ this info. I passed it along to Polly, Jeanne, and Nancy. The pictures and stories are wonderful! There is no way you'd get me on the little plane or helicopter!!! Have a wonderful hike. Can't wait to hear more. Tracy
