I have a little more time today so i will clean this up a bit.( I was tired and trying to eat my soup and type to save money on the Internet.
We arrived at Nima's house after 8 long hours. While the walk was not that difficult it sure played on the mental side of things. We ended up about 2000 ft of elevation,but we actually climbed it almost 3 times to get here. It was straight up in the morning from the Panaroma Hotel, where we had a great send off from Rita and her mom, for about 1300 ft then down past the Everest View Hotel, straight down to Khum Jung( about 400 ft) to deliver some presents to a very nice family, whose son runs the MO MO(dumplings with stuff inside) shop in Jackson Hole. They were so nice to us as they thought we had just brought them a lot of gifts ( but actually just some money and 3 pairs of shoes. I think they were just proud that their son had sent them and Jim brought them. We then went straight back up back to 4000 meters or (1700 ft elevation gain since we left that morning) and then right back down to the river(about 1000ish ft down) and then the long up to about 4300 meter(up about 2200 ft) and down home back to the 3900 meters.Great walk but damn frustrating for the mind. When you have a hill in your face to go up and you get there and then the next corner you go back down only to reclimb it again can drive you crazy.
i am sure it will be a short night tonight as I am tired but i still feel good physically
