Hi Great Outdoors this is Dave Hahn on the IMG 2007 IMG Everest expedition. I'm calling you tonight from Dingboche, I'm looking at what looks to be a pretty full moon up over Ama Dablam. I'm at 14,100 feet, it's a beautiful night, there's a little wisp of cloud over Ama Dablam but otherwise it's clear. I can see Lhotse and looking down valley I can see Tamserku and Kangtega and Taweche behind me, it's really beautiful night. We walked form Thy today, we woke up there at the monastery and had a little tea with the high Rinpoche and then started trekking again. First down the hill through the Rod to Deboche, then crossed the river, went through Pangboche and had lunch in Sumari, then made our way up to Dingoboche. Everybody is feeling preety good, everybody seems to be handling the laltitude pretty well, pretty pleasant day all around, sunny and calm to start, clouded up a little in the afternoon but not bad at all, so we're doing great up here. We caught up with Willie Benegas and his Mountain Madness group, they are here at the same snow lion lodge, the tea house where we're staying here in Dingboche, so it's nice to catch up with him and his group. I'll give you a call tomorrow to let you know what goes on during our rest day in Dingboche. Bye for now.
