One down, two to go

Well, I heard from our princesses this morning -- which means evening for them. They just finished the first leg down the hill from Namche Bazaar. They took it very slow, with lots of time for resting and talking to the kids who were everywhere. They wound up at another village of some kind and will spend the night there.

Their mood is almost ecstatic. I think they're so happy to be on the move that nothing else matters. I'm happy too, of course, 'cause I just want them home.
