Back in the U.S.S.A.


Well, um... we're back. Actually we got back last weekend, but we were busy acclimatizing to sea level--i.e. eating protozoa-free food, taking hot showers, and watching lots of reality television.

Here's a photo of Jen, Kat, and me in front of the Khumbu Icefall (that's Everest there on the left) along with the Mountain Professionals climbing team. Now that Nepal's friendly neighbor to the north has done their Olympic-torch-on-Everest thing, the team is readying their own summit bid. Word is that they'll sleep at Camp 3 tonight (May 11)--or at least try to sleep (good luck with that, guys)--and then go back down to Base Camp for a few days of rest before making their summit push for real. Be safe! And take lots of pictures!

As for pictures, I'll be uploading some more very soon, along with an explanation of this whole Jen-and-Maria-climbing-Everest thing (which many of you have asked for)... so stay tuned!

The devil is not only my friend, she is also in the details, the details unobservable at the resolution you uploaded. More pixels please.
