Seeing Mt. Everst (or Mt. Qomolangma) was such an incredible thing - I still can't really believe that we were actually there. It's nice to have pictures to prove it, if to no one else but myself.
Our first view was from the bus - we saw this big white peak emerge from the horizon and looked at each other, asking simultaneously "do you think that is IT?" Within a few seconds, our guide had confirmed. We had just caught a glimpse of the tallest mountain in the world!
Getting to Everest Base Camp was a very long, windy, bumpy dirt road ... it took 4 hours to go the final 60 miles...

In our tent village.
We watched a magnificent sunset (while I froze my behind off - it was cold up there!).
Cozy in our tent for the evening -- it was dormitory style, so we had 5 roomies and also our Tibetan host who went around tucking each of us into our little bed for the night. That's an image I will not forget for a while: Jason being tucked into bed by a Tibetan man :)
After sunrise the next morning.

Absolutely breathtaking!!! I love the image of a Tibetan man tucking you guys in. There's almost too much beauty in it all and I wasn't even there.
