Dear Family & Friends:
I have finally had the opportunity to read all your posts on my website blog and Eightsummits Facebook page. I am so grateful for your prayers and wonderful words of support. I thought about you all the time I was on the mountain. It brought me joy and satisfaction in the good times and sustained and motivated me in the hard times.
I am taking off the month of June, relaxing and trying to gain back some of the weight I lost on the mountain–about 15 pounds. In July, I will resume training with trips to the health club, mountain climbs and Sunday bicycle trips with my buddy Ollie.
I have prepared a 25 minute video and photo collage of the 2011 trip and will post it on my website in the next few days. The video will include the scandalous Turkish bath in Tingri so brace yourself for a real shock.
Thanks so much for following my 2011 expedition, and I hope all of you have a super great summer.
Bill
Can’t wait for the scandalous video!! Enjoy your month off and come eat more Philly Franks with us!

I bet Sharon would love a little FaceTime in Venice. Maybe a lots of FaceTime. She sure has been a supportive home Sherpa.

Glad to hear you are having some relaxing time off, is it too early to ask what is the next plan? Can’t wait to see scandalous Turkish bath scene along with your inspirational summit climb video.
