Hi, this is Bissell Hazen. Hello Mountain Zone. How is everyone today? We are great. We are so, so stoked. We're back in Huaraz, we're sitting on the deck of Isabella Mesa's place, and it's absolutely beautiful. The town is completely, I don't know if busy is the right word, but it's really nice to be here. We're looking at the mountains. They're nice looking; there's a nice sunset.
Tomorrow we're going to go to this Pancha Manca, Pancha Manca. We don't know how to spell that, but we're going to go to this festival. Our porters like us so much that they're having this big party for us, and they're going to roast this big ol' pig, and we're going to eat it.
We're going to go up there and hang out with them. And, let's see, about the trip. Okay, we had a great trip. I've got Jake Norton, Wade McKoy, Porter Fox sitting next to me. And I'm sure they have some words to say about the trip, and we also have a friend from Colorado. So, I'm going to have them blurt out some words about the trip, and it's going to be very quick. Wade, what do you think? One word, trip.
Thank you, Bissell. Yes, so here we are at Huaraz and we're just kind of getting healed up from a pretty fun trip down from Base Camp down to Collon, and then we took a taxi back to Huaraz, and here we are at Isabella Mesa's hostel, sitting on the roof, just kind of going back over the trip and realizing how great it was and how lucky we were. I'm pretty sure everybody else here thinks about the same. So, on a final note, we're going to do the USA justice tonight and have one hell of a Fourth of July party in Huaraz. Happy Fourth everybody, and we'll check in tomorrow.
