Trek Day 6 & 7: Higher and Higher

Today was a landmark day for a majority of the group. We hiked from Dingboche (14,100ft) to Chhukhung (15,200ft) where we enjoyed lunch before returning down the hill. This point is higher than Mt. Whitney which is the highest point on the continental US. It began to snow as we all gathered together in the lodges restaurant to enjoy Nepalese pizza.

One more day to acclimate in Dingboche with a quick morning hike. While we enjoyed the Nepalese pizza Nancy and Tina told our lead Sherpa we wanted to eat more traditional food lie the Sherpas. So after our hike today we feasted on french fries and Sherpa stew. The stew was great, but let's hope we don't eat our words.
