Boudhanath

Boudhanath is the largest, most impressive stupa in Nepal.  Nepalese Buddhists believe the winds blow the prayers on the prayer flags to heaven.

We spent an hour here today, after the team meeting, contemplating our own hopes and prayers.  Most of these for our loved ones at home and for safety on our flight and trek to Mt. Everest.

Jude and I made our final preparations to begin the trek tomorrow.  We’re looking forward to our early morning flight to Lukla, one of the most dangerous airports in the world.  It’s a thrill I look forward to with great anticipation!  I will be unable to use wi-fi or satellite phone for the next two or three days, so remember no news is good news.  Also, IMG updates their website on the internet frequently at mountainguides.com.
