Today we left Gokyo at around 8 am and walked 9 miles mostly downhill to Phortse. The views along the east side of the glacial valley were spectacular! The hike was mostly a walk although four of us were still hacking and coughing along the trail. Hopefully a few days at lower elevations will help us fight off the infections. Here are two photos from the day, one at the start and the other the end of the road. The people in the first photo are Ian, a fellow trekker who spent a couple days with us (originally from Orange County, now living in San Francisco), Pasang (Dawa's uncle), Dawa, Jonathan, and Barbara. Carly's back is turned to the camera, as she prepares her backpack.
