April 2nd 2010 - Rest day in Dingboche for acclimatization
Woke up watching my breath billow out from my nose like an icy cloud. I didn't want to leave my bag. Slept another 20 minutes.
I ate heavy, greasy hash browns with an omelet on top for breakfast. The Nepalese version of ketchup didn't help. I won't need much for lunch. My headache is almost gone today. I took a double dose of diamox last night. I still feel easily tired when I exert myself though. We're going to try to find a cyper-cafe before lunch to send an email to Loyd and Christina waiting below. The sky is getting hazy.
After reviewing the itinerary, it looks like we under estimated the time it would take to summit Kala Pattar and return to Kathmandu. Now we may only have one day at Gorak Shep. So much for our weather window. (We had planned two days at the top. If the first day's weather was bad then we would have a second chance for clear skies the second day.)
