The Road Across Tibet Photos - Everest Base Camp

What I know you have all been waiting for (and what I couldn't wait to see!): Everest. And it was an amazing sight, but for me it was more important because it was something that I never thought I would see with my own eyes, just something that I was only going to see in books and in photographs.

It is a beautiful mountain (Mother Nature is pretty talented when it comes to mountains :) but it's not the most beautiful mountain, just the highest.....let's keep it all in perspective! :) And no, I have no desire to climb up to the top of it (I'm crazy, but not that crazy!). The difficulty we had just walking and riding our bicycles at 5000 meters was plenty of challenge to satisfy me. Seeing all the big mountains together - the panorama of the Himalayas that separate Tibet and Nepal - was just awesome.
