Home for the next 6 weeks

Checking in from their home for the next 6 weeks or so, expedition leader Garrett Madison provides this update:

Hello, this is Garrett calling in for the Mount Everest expedition team.  Today we had our first full day in base camp.  We woke up to decent weather – some sun, had a little walkabout around camp to get the lay of the land and put the finishing touches on our camp to dial in everything – getting it just the way we want it.  Everyone’s doing really well.  We had a wonderful dinner here, we’re watching a movie and looking forward to good night’s rest.  Tomorrow we are going to take it easy as well, just acclimatizing, resting, and hopefully do our Puja ceremony, if the Lama can make it up here.  So, all good here in Everest base camp.  Thanks!
