Climb for Kid’s Sake Day 19: A change of plans!

We decided to spend another night in Namche Bazaar.  There are several people over the age of 60 with us on this trek and everyone agreed…it was a good excuse for us ALL to have an extra day of rest! LOL!  This photo’s old (it’s from our descend to Pheriche back on Sunday) but I love it…even Yaks need a break at this elevation!  I kid…I’m feeling really good but I’m antsy to get going and start my journey back to Lethbridge!  But Namche has been a great stop over and resting place for me and for all of us…what a cool place!

I heard that Lukla Airport is closed and it has been for two days due to tropical rain storm. The lodges are all crammed with trekkers and returning expeditions from Everest. There are lots of anxious trekkers waiting for the weather to break! We’ll leave Namche tomorrow morning for Lukla. We’ll spend the night there and basically get in line for the planes. If the weather is bad we have no choice but to wait. So frustrating!

Oh…good news!  I just heard that the Lukla airport may open tomorrow!  I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
