Mt. Everest

Winter Break, 2009. Teaching and living overseas has been great. We particularly enjoy holiday breaks. Almost all of our peers are going somewhere in the next three weeks: Thailand, South Africa, Korea, Greece, Turkey, Kuala Lumpur, France, and Switzerland, and lots are going back to the States.

The group below are going to Base Camp: Everest. They are prepared to hike 7-8 hours a day, for a week, until they they get to 18,000 feet. And then hike out. In the cold. At altitude. Not our idea of a holiday.
