Greetings from the roof of the world
While I'm waiting for helicopter to arrive, I'm taking advantage of the time to write you a quick letter. Let me go back to the beginning. After we spent a couple of days in Kathmandu, we took a bus to a little village where our porters were assembled. It was wonderful to get on the trail. When we started out, we were at low evaluation in a semitropical landscape, but the trail led ever upward, and three days, we were among steps cliffs and towering mountains. I've never seen so many waterfalls. After we had tracked for a week, we came to the snow zone. I was glad I had bought a lot of warm clothes. The water in my canteen froze every night! Before we climbed the high pass, I had a headache and wobbly knees. But the pain was worth it. The view was spectacular-jagged peaks everywhere, like a frozen stormy sea. Unfortunately, there was an accident on the way down. While he was scrambling over loose rock, Pete, a member of our party, fell and twisted his ankle. Luckily, the next village wasn't far. but Pete can't continue, his ankle is very swollen, and he can't walk. We radioed for help, and a helicopter is on the way. I'm sending this letter with poor Pete, so bye for now, and see you in a few weeks.
Nelly
P.S. Oh, I almost forget to tell you. Before I left the U.S. I bought a pair of those hiking boots you recommended. They've been great.
