KathmanduMap

EverestBCMap

Last month when we were in the Pacific Northwest for a friend's wedding we visited Powell's Bookstore. It was overwhelmingly huge. I could've spent hours and a life's fortune in there. So when I spotted an Everest Base Camp map I checked out and called it a day. My wanderlust has been accompanied by an obsession with maps and globes.

It's almost impossible to imagine what this trek is going to be like. My mind keeps trying to fill the blanks with whatever it can. Like a convoluted dream I keep jumping from scenario to scenario.

Needless to say, I can't wait to share this adventure with you guys.

Everything on that map says ICE!

But I'm still crazy jealous of your adventure. Can't wait to hear all about it.

Humbling. Going to another country is the most humbling experience. You realize so much, how people live, survive, and lead such happy fulfilling lives without huge houses, suvs, and material things. I hope you make many, many wonderful memories.

I just went to Powells! Where was the base camp map? I totally spent most of my time in the mountaineering section.

BBC News today - there is now 3G coverage so you can use your phone on Everest.

Kind of cool!
