Not every day on the trek needs to be a marathon. Today, the team woke up in Tengboche and only had to trek for about 4 hours. It is a nice walk with Ama Dablam keeping the team company most of the way.
The Team pulled into Pangboche and had a good lunch and after lunch visited Lama Geshe. This is when the fireworks started. “Amazing!â€Â This was the word from both Cedric and Craig as they chuckled. Lama Geshe has this way of telling the Team a story and laughing. Without having a complete understanding of what he is saying, you still find yourself laughing and having fun with him.
The team was sharing the afternoon with Lama Geshe when a visitor stopped in to say hello. The visitor was a Lama Reincarnate. This is a very special occasion. Very nice.
On this day, we had a surprise awaiting our team and a married couple. Lama Geshe performed a Puja Ceremony in honor of the couple’s Wedding Anniversary. Congratulations!
It was a beautiful day outside and the mountains were out and showing their greatness as well!
