I'm on day 5, I think, of my trek. Currently around 14,000 feet. The actual trekking has been challenging but wonderful. I've seen Everest the last 2 days. Still several days away from basecamp, though. I'll try to post some photos, but internet is sketchy at best now. I've had some challenges with anxiety outside of trekking time. Not happy about that but forging ahead. I'll update as I'm able.

| Yaks transporting goods along trekking paths |
 |
| Amazing waterfall. One of many. |
 |
| Donkeys transporting goods crossing one of the many suspension bridges along the route. |
 |
| This suspension bridge was at least 1/4 mile above the raging river below. It was amazing! |

 |
| If not on the backs of donkeys or yaks, human porters are the amazing transporters of goods throughout the Himalayas. These guys routinely passed me carrying hundreds of pounds of goods on their backs. |
 |
| Typical guesthouse room. No heat. Little to no electricity. No running water. I got really good at wearing my next day's clothing to bed, as it was just too damn cold to get dressed in the mornings! |
 |
| Ama Dablam dominated the landscape early in my trek. |
 |
| Me. And mountains, go figure... |
 |
| My first summit. Although even at close to 17,000 feet, this officially is only a HILL in the Himalayas--Nagarjun Hill, to be exact. |
