Rest and Acclimatization

This morning we’re off to Lobuche at 16,200. That’s where tent camping starts and Judy is so excited!  No, not really.

Yesterday was a rest and acclimatization day. We had a fun hike up to about 15,000 feet. Three years ago Judy wasn’t really interested in doing this, so I went up as high as possible with Tom Calton. This time around we didn’t go as high, as the guides are taking care that we not stress our bodies at these higher altitudes too quickly.  I enjoyed having Jude with me, and we had fun mingling with the other trekkers and climbers and taking pictures.

There will be no wi-fi at the Lobuche camp, so I will likely be updating the blog by satellite phone. We’ll be spending three nights there to continue our acclimatization before continuing on to EBC!
