Resting in Namchee.

Dad's note: (having a few blog problems so you might of already seen this one)
Hi everyone,
This is a photo take of Ethan the other day, trekking back from Kumjung it is at almost 13,000ft. That is Namchee Bazzar below him, at night they play music from the monastry over a loud speaker to the village.
Ethan has a tummy bug so we are staying n Namchee and are going to see if he can shake the bug off.
He has made friend with the local Internet shop keeper, he lets him play flight simulator.
A interesting thing about the Sherpa's is that they are named after the days of the week that they are born.
Monday: Dawa
Tuesday: Mingma
Wednesday: Lhakpa
Thursday: Phurba
Friday: Pasang
Saturday: Pemba
Sunday: Nima
So "Mt Eden Primary" if you were a Sherpa what would your name be? I would be Nima as I was born on a Sunday and Ethan would be Mingma.
That's all for now Ethan will up date his blog tomorrow.

  1. Hi guys. Ethan you look great even though I know you have a tummy bug. Drink lots of fresh clean water that dad gets for you. You look like such an experienced climber, I am so proud of you.Have you been to the bakery yet, they have the best bread!
    Mike - how are you, I wish I was there too. Favour - can you get me some small prayer flags. Miss you both, Mel. ps I'd be Dawa.
