November 21 - December 10, 2010

Images are from Hong Kong, Kathmandu, and the Khumbu Valley near Mt. Everest.

We had a great trip, despite the various maladies we acquired. I got the "Kathmandu Quickstep" before departing for Lukla. Then I got a respiratory infection in Namche Bazaar, high altitude pulmonary edema at Kala Patthar, and the Khumbu Cough. Jim got giardia, unfortunately. Doug managed to stay relatively healthy. But we did make it to Gorak Shep. And we drank lots of Everest beer!
