The 30th of May was one untypical day, an exceptional night. Spent in Tengboche, the group honored one man a "39 at 39,000 M." The man who saw that we are properly funded and budget well accounted for. Spent in the company not with his family but with friends, it was one memorable night for us. Because that Wednesday, we tasted apply pie. Belated Sir Dom.
