Pass times

The days at base camp are kind of long and we always need to invent some pass time… we look to find the daily rules that are hidden with precision in the rhythms of the day: morning pee, breakfast, lunch and coffee (strictly Italian), dinner. This cycle helps us not to have the sensation of annoyance. In the dead time however, we always look to find something to do and Renato, our photographer, creates ideas…first he has written a television drama and is directing the show in which the staff stars, then there is the tournament of poker and who knows what other crazy ideas rest in his mind for the next few days. Today is cloudy and we could not talk with Carla and Fabio. Only a sms to communicate the point for the water resupply tomorrow. Our thoughts always drift to their trek. We don’t speak of it so we don’t worry about an event, but we know that it is hard and that the high temperature is the most fatiguing element of the expedition. However we know they are strong, very strong, that they have prepared for a long time and shortly we will hear their experience and that they have lived to the max. And we are with them.
