First Trek!

I got back from my first trek a couple of days ago. Wow was it challenging but incredibly beautiful. We constantly had the Himalayas in our view with China and India just on the other side. Our trek started out in the snow and was straight downhill for a time. We trekked for three days staying in different villages in tea shops and in one ladie's home. At one point I had to take off my boots and trek in my flip flops because of blisters. People were so friendly on the way with one man even insisting on taking my bag as he saw I was struggling. I couldn't believe how fast the Nepalis went up and down the mountain...they were literally running and some without shoes or really heavy loads on their heads. Here are some pics from the trip.
