Day 7 of hiking was nominal and short.  It only took us about 3 hours to hike back up yo Lukla.  We checked I to the guest house.  We said our good-bye to our porter Kumar with a $120 for his service.  They suggest 10 to 12 per day for the porter.  We were hiking 7 days and so tipped a little over $17 per day.  The guide, Ross, typically gets 15 to 20 per day.  Ross was a good guide despite his deficiency in English but he will be with us about 10 days so will get at least $200.


Nick and I found a 'Scottish Pub' and have spent the afternoon talking.  I shared some of my engineering war stories and we talked about his prospects for law school and such.
