Today was our off-itinerary day and was it amazing! Several people had told us that we should take the trail to Cho Oyu base camp and stop along the glacial morraine at the fifth lake. Attached is the view with me and Barbara in the foreground (no, we aren't as large as Everest). Not bad eh? Many of us agreed that the view was perhaps the best we've seen anywhere on Earth. We spent about 90 minutes taking in the view, whereas our 8 mile trek took nearly 7 hours. It was a long day, but well worth the effort. Tomorrow we descend to Phortse which is the closest village to Tengboche where Saturday we hope to see the Bhuddist festival, Mani Rimdu, with Sharon, Maya, Conchi Maya, YongDi, and BK.
