We have spent few days here in Base Camp getting our bellies full of good food and our bodies some rest of the harsh environment of Camp II.
Today I cook a good Argentinean Guiso and croquetas de espinacas– and yes everyone got second and thirds!
We got some laundry done and have almost three straight nights of awesome sleeping.
A good sing of good acclimatization!
The weather has been pretty much good for two weeks and just now we have a small low pressure moving in to the region witch brings some afternoon snow showers, a good and needed thing.
Now everyone is watching a movie while I am doing some office work, basically enjoying the last hours of the conformability of Base Camp.

Tomorrow is a early wake up call of 3,30 am, breakfast at 4,30 am and departure at 5 am for a 5-7 hours climb to Camp II.
We will settle at Camp II for our next and final acclimatization cycle.
May 2: We will climb to Camp II
May 3: Rest at II
May 4: Climb to Camp III (7400 meters) Touch and Go.
May 5: Rest at Camp II
May 6: Climb to Camp III- rest for few hours while I continue to Yellow Band for Anchor replacements on fix lines.
May 7: Return to Base Camp for our final rest before we attempted the summit, witch I calculate it will be by second/third week of May!!
Everyone is doing fine and by each time we climb the ice fall in to the heart of Everest I get more confident on them. Each is becoming an Himalayan climber by the meter!
Tety climbs trough the ice fall and lathers with such an easy way– every-time I ask how are you doing? Her reply is– just fine!
Johnny — well Johnny got the nickname of trash compactor, because just never is enough food laying around. The sherpas are very impress with his power and every-time he climbs around some one he always gives the person such a positive assurance.
Eugene— well we all are trying to keep up with him!
Me? Trying to keep up with everyone!

I been trying to upload a map of the route but no luck!!!!! Just Computer is not my stuff
