Everest and nuns

Incredible flight this AM. It was clear as we went along the Himalaya, so we had clear views of Everest. WOW.
I flew past Everest today.
I FLEW PAST MOUNT EVEREST TODAY.
HOLY COW, I FLEW BY MOUNT EVEREST TODAY!!!!!


Bhutan is nice, but feels very tame compared to Nepal :) We did visit a Buddhist nunnery this afternoon though, and were able to witness them praying. They play various instruments (cymbals, drum, long loud horns) and chant prayers. I was sitting beside a girl as she was turning the pages of her "prayer book", and one "hymn" they did was called 'A Light Shower of Blessing Flowers'. Cool, right?
