Here are a few pictures around base camp...training on an ice wall, ;an
image of Everest base camp.  I have also attached a picture of a
blessing I received from the head monk from one of the local
monasteries..and our first view of the top of Mt. Everest.  Tomorrow we
will enter the Kumbu ice fall and climb for two hours and then return to
base camp.  The following day, we will move through the ice fall up to
Camps I and II.  We will be away from base camp for five days.
