Puja Time. (Mike Hamill)
We had our Puja this morning and all the sherpas and climbers enjoyed it.  We had a lama come up from Sama Gaon and had a very good ceremony followed by some sherpa dance. Phunuru and I have worked out a tentative schedule for climbers and sherpas. Tomorrow we plan to take a shorter acclimatization hike and do some training in the afternoon and the sherpas are going to take a first trip up to Camp 1.  The following day we will try to tag C1 and descend back to Base Camp, before taking another rest day.
