It was a beautifully clear night with all the stars of the universe seemingly visible. That’s quite a change from all the rainy evenings and nights we’ve had so far. I woke up to the same clear skies and packed my trekking duffel once again for the next leg to Pheriche.
Along the way we make the obligatory stop at Lama Geishi’s house in Pangboche for his Buddhist blessing for safe climbing and a safe return to our homes and loved ones.
From there we stopped for lunch, then made the final push into Pheriche at 14,000 feet where we’ll spend two days with another acclimatization hike to 15,000 tomorrow. The Himalayan Hotel demolished by the earthquake is completely rebuilt. In fact, it took one month for 40 Sherpas to do it. I shed a tear when I passed it last year when I saw the room Judy and I stayed in crushed.
Mt. Everest 
May blessings continue with you dear son.
