Here it is, finally, my Everest Expedition photo album! It’s a rather big album but then this was a big adventure! I left San Francisco on March 29 to join the Alpine Ascents Everest Expedition in Kathmandu. Two months later,…
Finally some photos of my visit to Tokyo on the way to Nepal. Photos
This is a selection of photos of my EBC Trek. I counted the days from the first day of the trek to the day we flew back to Kathmandu. You will notice that there are no photos of ‘EBC Day…
Here is a selection of photos of my Annapurna Circuit Trek. I am missing one memory card with photos taken during this trek on my Nikon D70. I am hoping that it is in our luggage still to arrive from…
We got back home yesterday, May 31st, right on schedule. Thank you all for following along and for the comments and emails we have received! Although we were not always (well, most of the time) able to reply, we did…
The adventure has come to an end; we are leaving Kathmandu in a few hours. We will stopover for the night in Bangkok – that’s just the way the flights work. From there we will then fly to SFO via…

So fingers crossed that the weather in Lukla is good enough for the flight to depart. If so, I will then immediately start my EBC Trek; first stop: Phakding. My guide and one porter are meeting me here in the…
