Julio called April 13 at 9:44 pm. He had to borrow a phone because their satellite phone is not working yet. The team has been at Base Camp now for two days where they have had a lot of snow. While I go to sleep Julio and his friends leave for a walk around base camp. It is tomorrow morning there. The climbers continue to feel the effects of the altitude some days more than others. They will remain at Base Camp (BC) while they wait for the people that will bring the yaks. The animals will carry their equipment to Advanced Base Camp (ABC). They expect to be at ABC by April 16. I wish I could write more about what they are doing but he asked too many questions and when it was my turn he had to hand back the phone. He did say they are all doing fine and sends his regards to friends and family. Maribel
Love reading all the posts on your site and Bill Fisher's. It sounds like things are going as planned so far. We are thinking about you and hoping you didn't feel the effects of the earthquake in China! Take care and keep sending the updates. Next time let your wife get in a few questions!

ReplyDeleteHola Juli:
ReplyDeleteSe ven muy bien en el retrato que posteo Bill.
Espero que a el se le hayan quitado los dolores de cabeza y que tu estes ya aclimatado.Pensamos mucho en ustedes y tu sabes que yo soy una rezadora compulsiva. Nuestros ultimos examenes medicos salieron muy bien. Cuidense mucho y que Dios los bendiga a todos. Sabes que te queremos mucho. Tus padres.
