We spent the morning hiking up to the Mt. Everest view lodge where we enjoyed majestic views and a spot of tea. The hike passed the local airport which was little more than a dirt air strip. We climbed an extra thousand feet to help us sea level people acclimate to the higher elevations. On the trek back to the Moonlight Lodge we stopped at the Sherpa cultural center that included an exhibit of all the Sherpas who have summited Everest. Dozens of men have summited, but only a handful of women with the the first woman summiting in 1993.
