The highest tea house (about 17,000 feet), where we spent two freezing, filthy nights before and after reaching Base Camp. Bronchitis, Khumbu cough, no sleep, no oxygen. The worst drop toilets of the trip. Nicknamed “Satan’s rectum’ by Chris. That took top honors for creativity and fidelity. Reminded me of the star wars bar scene, except the star wars bar was clean and most of the aliens were friendly.

More exhibits from high altitude: pink puffs (??), a meal of yak steak, fries, bok choy and pizza. Thanks Tara for remembering to take pictures.
