Our group consisted of Rick - the leader, Anup, Jose, Lisa, Eric and Bobby. Rick was the only one among us who had been to Nepal and done any trekking in the Himalayas. Rick was organizing the trek with his guide from the previous trips.
We would meet at the various Nepali restaurants in San Francisco. Not that it helped us in any way with the preparations, but it just seemed appropriate. We talked about weighty matters such as which cameras to carry, our respective abilities to control and release gas, how many meals of dal-bhaat could we eat before we couldn't eat anymore. We tried to guess how many unique instances of diarrhea could we possibly come down with on a 21 day trek. We talked about how many times Lisa would wash her hair - at this point we digressed and talked about why we should not all go for a rastafarian look. We decided that the men would not shave, that we would carry biodegradable soap. It was suggested that we should not even carry toothpaste, this idea was summarily brushed aside!
