Machermo to Gokyo

-2 year anniversary of my last day in Biotech! 34 countries in 2 years.
-Toast w/peanut butter + honey for breakfast.
-Hiked to Pangla. Was very tired at start, but got some energy after hiking for a few minutes. Pangla (4480m) was the site of 1995 avalanche (guest house got buried, many people died). Continued hike, and met up w/Derek + porters. Had great view of Cho Oyu. Walked along river to Gokyo Lakes. 2nd Lake was frozen over (Taboche Tsho). Arrived at lakeside town of Gokyo (4790m, 54% Oxygen). Dudh Pokhari Lake only had a little bit of ice, under Gokyo Ri (5360m) and Pharilapche.
-Had some veggie momos, and took a long nap. Woke up, read some of Into The Wild. Bought some muesli and kitkat. Met Hiro + Neu from Osaka, had some mint tea, and watched the sunset behind Gokyo Ri.
-Muchroom, Garlic, Onion + Veg Pizza for dinner. I think it had Yak cheese on it. Listened to some Bob Marley w/Lakpa.
-Brushed teeth while looking at Pharilapche peak; bundled up; went to bed.

This is your old Amgen Manager. I still need your monthly report update. And did you get that memo about your TPS Reports.
