Everest

We have officially seen Mount Everest and 7 other of the tallest mountains in the world. Yesterday (may 25) we did a Mountain flight, and flew by all the Himalayas and Mount Everest. It was pretty sweet, didnt get superrrr close but definitely cool to see, and got some good pictures. They are insanely massive, Everest is over 8500 meters. I cant even imagine how anyone could climb that thing. I read in a paper here the other day that there was a record for youngest person to climb to the top, and he was thirteen i think. no idea how a 13 yr old could do that.
Bridge and I are thinking of doing a trek this coming weekend, or mabe next week. We want to go with a couple of the volunteers weve met here cause we dont want to go alone, so I think were going with these 2 guys from Canada, and one of their sisters and another girl frm our house. We are going to do a couple days of the Annapurna circuit, which is normally a 20 day trek but we are just going to do 2 days and then bus home cause we have towork and are definitely not that intense! We may not go though sort of depends on the weatehr and stuff...its moving into monsoon season so it rains (ie downpours) at night and massive massive thunder storms, its pretty cool to watch. Oh and also depends if we can even get up north because we are expecting a strike at least on the 28th...so maybe wwe wont be able to. Well find out in the next couple of days!
ANyways, were off to work! xox
