Looks Like We Made It!

We're back from the Annapurna Trek and all we got was this shirt!

Five days walking 80° up and down the Himalayas can do wonders. We lost weight, we were forcibly turned into vegetarians, we learned to ignore the pain from muscles we didn't know we had (the butt has muscles???), we survived the cold and heat, and the unholy combination of heat and cold.

I'm proud of Henri, who limped home on our last day because the road down was hard on his feet. And going up was torture for me, but he was my cheerleader and without him, I would probably still be in the mountains, wheezing and complaining about my wobbly knees. Our guide, Bhagwan, was not a bad addition to the team. He lied sometimes about how near the pit stops were (to get me to walk), but he's alright in my book :)

Nous venons de passer 5 jours magnifiques et plein d'émotions fortes. Nous nous sommes prouvés qu'on pouvait monter 1400m en 7h, puis partir avant le lever du soleil le lendemain matin pour admirer le spectacle sur un sommet à 3200m d'altitude. Nous avons souffert, enduré, laisser nos pensées divaguer pendant la marche et nous avons survécu!
Je suis TELLEMENT FIER de ma chérie et je veux le clamer à la terre entière!
Ce trek nous a encore rapproché, comme si l'altitude avait le pouvoir de sceller les unions, ou peut-être l'effort fourni en commun et cette douce sensation d'arriver au point fixé.
Nous vous racontons tout çà très vite, avec les belles photos des sommets, et vous embrassons tous bien fort!!!

Toute l'histoire... prochainement!
The full story -- SOON!
