The distances on this trip have been confusing. Why is it that we're doing a 100 mile stage race and everything is in kilometers? I can't do math at altitude! And even when you ask them how many kilometers to go, they end up telling you a wrong number.

Time And Distance
In the Himalayas time is relative. Things happen when they do. If someone says that it will take 15 minutes, it takes more like 30 minutes to an hour. Being from NY, you can get impatient with that. Remember day 1 when we started over 1 1/2 hour late. It is the mountain that demands the respect and the time just goes by.
