Meeting the rest of the team

The team will eventually expand to 23. The majority are from University of British Columbia at Okenagen (UBCO) & they arrived on Monday with the bulk of the equipment. The rest are from around the world (UK, Netherlands, New Zealand & Australia), arriving at different times of the week.

The plan for the week was to set up the baseline testing equipment & run nearly everyone through the series of studies on Thu & Fri. The other task was to get all of the equipment destined for the Pyramid Lab shipped out on Thu evening so it could head up the mountain ahead of us. The photo shows just some of the 50 - 60 lbs cases that we have - and all of them will have to be carried by porters!

The Kathmandu Garden Hotel is situated in a district of the city center called Thamel. Although the district is thronging with stores where you can almost anything, the hotel is secluded & comfortable.
