Today was a day of extremes – we went from waking up to a beautiful rodendren garden to walking through a freezing cold wind above the tree line. We had a clear view of Everest and Ama Dablam the whole time, and saw yaks carrying supplies to Ama Dablam’s base camp.
A crazy little dog followed us for about an hour all the way to our final stop of the day, Dingboche. We were like, when is this little dog going to go home? But he just kept going and took us right to our teahouse. I wanted to let him stay with us but Wally wasn’t too keen on that, being that the little dog might have lice and all.
Dingboche is at 14,553 feet. Here we will spend tonight and tomorrow night as well. Wally is going to attempt to trade electrical tape for a battery recharge for our cameras and computer. Really, he could just use rupees, but how fun is that?
Quote of the day:
Wally: What more do you need than a room made of plywood?
Song of the day:
Everyone gets a star - Albert Hammond, Jr.
