Day 11 (11.09.07) - Muktinath (3800m) - It's A Long Way To The Top If You Want To Rock-N-Roll...5416m To Be Exact Well today was the big day. I got out of bed sometime before 5am and began prepping for the day. I specifically didn't say that I "woke up" because that would imply that I actually slept.

I left Chicago heading west in the beginning of April '07 and continued going west until March 1st, 2008 when I returned to Chicago having confirmed that the world is indeed round. The stops along the way - Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Nepal, India, and Tanzania. As of March, 2008, I retired my backpack and posted my final entry about this journey. All the entries are still there for your reading enjoyment. Remember, the entries are shown newest to oldest.

Wish I was there...
I wish you could have saved the trek for a time when I could have joined you! I may have a spare week soon, so we can discuss that later. p.s. when you add post scripts, it's p.p.s, p.p.p.s and so on...again, if you want to be Canadian, we need to work on your English!

PPPPPPPPPPPS
You nut....I understand the convention for multiple post scripts. I'll try to better explain in the future when I choose to not conform. As for saving the trek until you could join me...I'll gladly come back to Nepal in the future with you to trek when we both can find a month off from work...there's a lotta trekking to be done. PS - Let's discuss your week. PS2 - I thought I made it clear that I don't actually want to be Canadian...it was just a drastic measure taken in the heat of an arguement with a thug. You and Canada will have to give up the dream of a Canadian Marc. Sorry.

PS
Denial is the first stage...no need to explain your non-conformist attitude, just realize that the nail that sticks out gets hammed down (or pays more at the toll) ;)...swinging a month could be tough, maybe after MOT goes under I'll have that kind of time...I'll ping you on the week..."I did it like this, I did it like that, I did it with a whiffle ball bat!"
