I had a huge portion of "well done" classical music (mostly Vivaldi) while hiking to Namche Bazar today. The music of Vivaldi fits the scenery so well that I suspect he had been to Himalayas before he wrote it :) Namche has everything ... Like right now, I am sitting in a "French style" coffee shop, having fresh coffee and "believe it or not" donuts...and it is snowing outside.
"So come visit us in Namche Bazar, here you'll find everything you need for trekking in the Everest region" :)
Tomorrow I'll hike to Khumjung.
Later, Ray.
P.S. Just a reminder, I have a few more days to go until I reach Everest/Lhotse Base Camp.
