			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> I&#8217;m home and super happy to be here.  My first few days back were spent sleeping and walking around the house like a zombie. Jet lag has finally worn off, and I&#8217;m looking forward to working, seeing family and friends, and coming up with my next adventure.</p>
<p>The Everest trip was definitely an adventure of a lifetime, and one that I&#8217;d love to share with you. For those close by, I&#8217;m happy to share a slide show and tell you all about the trip. For all those afar, I&#8217;ve posted more pictures.  They&#8217;re set chronologically, so you&#8217;ll see pictures following me up and down and then back up and down the mountain.   One picture that you won&#8217;t find is my summit photo&#8211;at least not until after Monday. My digital camera froze up by the time I reached the top, so I used a 35mm camera to take the shot. It&#8217;s at the film developer right now. So, check back in this Tuesday! </p>
<p>Thanks again everyone for all of the congratulations and good thoughts. It&#8217;s especially fun to hear from folks I haven&#8217;t been in touch with lately. </p>
<p>Btw, Greg and I would both like to give a special thank you to Galen Harris, my high school buddy, for putting together and managing the website.  Greg would like to point out that though he provided the content for the posts, it was Galen that had the technical skills to get them on the web. Thanks Galen!</p>
<p>ciao for now,<br />
Brenda

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Donnybot, thank you, so much for all the wonderful congrats and well wishes.  I am super psyched and touched by your emails and sentiments passed through  Greg. Once I&#8217;m back in Seattle I&#8217;ll make sure to reply to all of you!  As you can tell, I am back in the land of email, which also means I&#8217;m back  in the land of hot showers and sit down toilets. Yay! Soon, I will be  headed home, but not until some other Everest climbers and I do a little  celebrating tonight. We&#8217;re headed to the restaurant called the Rum Doodle.  Alas, forever climbing bums (cheapskates) at heart, we are headed there as  they give out free food (but not free drinks) to those who&#8217;ve summitted. <img src='http://verascapes.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   See you in a few days! I look forward to sharing the many photos I&#8217;ve taken  and to give you a run down of the trip.  namaste,  Brenda
