Namaste, everyone. Dan's dad here.
Just a quick update on the plan for the group.
Today, the group was to have a fairly short trek to Monjo. It is unlikely that they will find internet access there, but they should be able to update the blog from their next stop at Namche Bazaar (pronounced - Namche - as in 'nam chay' and Bazaar as in 'bazaar').
This village is a little higher at around 11,000 feet or so. They should start feeling the altitude a bit more here and so they will spend two nights there to allow a little acclimatization time. Namche Bazaar is the main village for the Sherpa people. When the group arrives, it will be a bustling community. They arrive in Namche on Saturday which is market day. Sherpa people from all over the area come to the market to sell their wares and produce and to buy supplies. The lads should be able to get some great pictures of the market activity.
Have a good weekend.
