The Wiggen's Travels
Our travels around the world.

So yesterday we woke up at 2:30 am and walked from 4,500 meters (abiyt 14,500 ft) over the Thoroung-La pass which is 5416 meters (17769 ft).  Crazy day.  9 hours of hiking.  Lots of UP and then even MORE down.  LONG LONG day.  But I made it and we are in the middle of 6 hours of flat walking today.

Some things I have learned:

1)  “The rest of the way is flat” means something completely different to someone who grew up in the himilain mountians than to someone who grew up in the midwest USA.

2)  If you come around a bend and see the place you are stopping for the night at the same altitude as you are standing KNOW that there is a 600 ft drop to a bridge followed by a 600 ft climb in front of you….

More to come, but I am really enjoying Nepal….
