Day 2 - Morning


Two of our porters loading up after breakfast before heading to Jorsale.



The guy on the left is 52 years old. He is strong as an ox. I'm sure he could carry tripple the load I could. I think his knees are made of some genetically bio-modified carbon-fiber type substance that the good Lord has provided to the Sherpa tribe. Only two of our porters were ethnically Sherpas. Both of them built like small locomotives.

We hiked slowly again on Day 2. We decided to stop in Jorsale for the night before heading up the mammoth "Namche hill." We hoped that this would help us acclimatize and give our muscles a chance to adjust.
