Mt. Everest 2010 #20 - Base Camp - Puja

Gabcast! Mt. Everest 2010 #20



Namaste everybody, from base camp.

It's April 12th, and it's our anniversary, so, Ted, Happy 24th Anniversary. I miss you and I love you alot.

Today was our Puja, which is quite a big celebration with a blessing ceremony which blesses our climb and our climbing equipment, and after the blessing is done then there are some offerings that are made, and then a little bit of a celebration.

The sherpa boys did a little bit of a song and dance routine for us and then we put one on for them, and that was really great.

The weather is really good here, and another nice sunny day. It's pretty cold at night it gets to about -10. During the day it is so warm we're having ??? from shelter.

Today what we did is we played around with some rope and our equipment and tomorrow we are heading off into the icefields, and just playing around a little bit more.

So that's whats going on here, everything is going well. My cold is almost over, so I'm feeling quite a bit better.

So that's it for today. I'll talk to you again tomorrow. Bye.
