Today we are at Namche Bazaar, the capital of the Sherpa World at 3445 metres, 11,300 feet and are having a rest day. It is another beautiful and sunny day. We awoke in a beautiful campsite at the Danphe Lodge, which sits above town. We hung out around town, meeting people from the other expeditions, drinking tea and eating pizza. Terry Schuck and his sherpa Lakpa arrived today.

Tomorrow we plan to trek up to the 4000 metre, 13,120 foot high village of Pangboche. This afternoon it turned cloudy and I have attached a photo of the view from the Danphe Lodge looking into town and over at the beautiful circa 6000 metre Kwangde Ri lurking in the clouds.

Thanks for wishing us luck on our trek to Everest.

Yours Sincerely,

Dan Mazur and all of us at SummitClimb.com
