We're Baaa-aaaaack!!!

And we're nearly as slimy and smelly as a Gremlin too, or at least we were before we showered and put on new clothes. For the first time in 17 days. Yuck.

Trekking in Sagarmatha National Park (home of Everest and lots of other really tall and really spectacular mountains) was phenomenal. Meg celebrated her 28th birthday in one of the most beautiful places on earth, complete with a chocolate cake made in a rice cooker and a bottle of wine schlepped all the way from Kathmandu, thanks to Rahul and the friendliest teahouse owner in the world. We can't wait to tell you all about it, but due to the snow and clouds that trapped us in a Himalayan teahouse for an extra 30 hours (it was rough), we will have to postpone the show-and-tell a few more days. Tomorrow we head to the Royal Chitwan National Park to play with elephants and spy on tigers with Rahul's family. When we get back, we will commence a frenzy of MS150 and Everest photo uploading and storytelling before we take off for Tibet the next day. Adios!
