We're alive and flourishing

Hello to All:
Contrary to my fellow trekker Tony's conspiracy theory that the Americans really didn't land on the moon, I can, in fact, verify the boomerang effect since we have rebounded from two sides of Everest and wound up back in Katmandu.
I won't go into detail now since time is limited and there's lots to do before we return home on Friday. However, I did write each day on the trek and will send those out in the next few days. They need some serious editing. Zero degree temperature, give or take a few degrees between friends, icy fingers and general exhaustion do not make for final products on first writings, but just to cut to the chase, let me say that this was the most exhausting, difficult, physical and mental challenge that we have ever done in any of our travels.
With that being said, let me add that it was also the most glorious, exhilarating and beautiful trip that we could ever imagine, and I think that the two opposites are inseparable, each adding to the other.
Of course, I can say that now that we're safely ensconced in our Hyatt Regency, Club Level (drinks are complimentary at 5:00. I'll be there), room.
So we did indeed, survive, but............... well that's another story to be told soon,

Love to all,
Carol and Jim
