November 6, 2008 From Pangboche walked to Namche. Got cleaned up and washed some clothes at the Namche lodge.
November 7, 2008 Felt weak in the morning and did not think my stomach could handle any food. Walked for a while with a British woman who gave me some antibiotics. I got as far as Chheplung and mostly slept in the afternoon and that night.

November 8, 2008 I felt much better in the morning. It was Saturday, the day Buddhists burn incense and observe prayer offerings.
I made good time to Bupsa and as I descended to Khari Khola I was accompanied by a young Nepali woman who spoke good english. She led me to her aunts lodge in Khari Khola, where I stayed for the night. The woman, an employee at the local water hydroelectric facility, gave me a tour of the monastery and local school. The village also had a new medical clinic which served the local communities.
