Today we reaped the benefits of trekking for 27 days and being properly acclimatized with a relatively easy walk over Renjo La. We ate lunch at the top of the pass enjoying spectacular views of Everest, Lhotse and more. Once again the descent proved more challenging for Brook than the climb up. He wanted to call it a day in the first village that we came upon, Lungden. We really wanted to go 40 more minutes to Maralung. Getting to Maralung would give us a chance of making Namche the next day and Lukla the day after. With five weeks in country thus far, we are starting to think about how each additional day we spend in Nepal will take away from our travels in India. We talked Brook into having a snack in Lungden to see if it would fuel him to Maralung. Low and behold we discovered the amazing properties of green chili sauce and off to Maralung we went.

During our trek I discovered the fantastic properties of green chili sauce. When you're tired, all you have to do is have some green chili sauce on a yummy snack and you will become energized enough to walk at least another hour. This is not good when you have it with dinner and can't sleep.
