On Top of the World

Last night, we all went out to dinner together. We had a nice time and the food was delicious. Sammy does very well going places. He sat in his car seat at the table and interacted with all of us. Afterward, we got to bed fairly early because we needed to leave the house early this morning for our mountain flight.


Although Nepal is a relatively small country (about the size of Arkansas), it is home to eight of the top ten highest mountains including the highest, which is Everest. My wife and I have always enjoyed reading about and viewing shows about Everest. So, since we were so close to it, I thought we should see it.


There are flights offered that fly along the range of the Himalayas and back. I booked the three of us on one that flew this morning. I felt a little bit too touristy doing it, but it was an amazing flight. After all, how many people can say they have seen the summit of Everest, even by plane. We took a lot of pictures but they are honestly not that impressive through the plane windows. It is one of those things that you just need to experience. The size and range of these mountains is majestic to view. Overall it was a great opportunity. We were also fortunate to have clear weather.

This trip has been a blast! We have gotten to do and see so many amazing things.
