Last night the dinner was amazing! Nema came down to join us and I actually got to join the kitchen staff for a few moments to roast the two pounds of pecans I have been dragging around in yak butter and salt… Yummy appetizer ! A great evening together with the team. We are starting to wind down as we head out of the Everest region. Such mixed emotions. Today we started out with a stop at Pasangs parents home for tea- Trekked about 3 hours backtracking our way to Lukla and loved visiting with our girls along the way! Dawa and Calden invited us to their home for lunch— Sherpa stew! We got settled back into the tea house and I went with Angdawa to meet his beautiful family. We will have dinner and a ceremony with the Sherpas tonight since many will not return to kathmandu for the last few days …, I don’t see this as an ending, but a beautiful beginning on a new and amazing journey with the children of Nepal. They have captured our hearts.,,
