Everest Base Camp Night 2: The Dogs Of Namche Bazaar

Susan of the Everest Bakery (and Pizza Hut) has graciously allowed me the use of his porch for the night (saving me yet another dollar's worth of accommodation costs). Why the Everest Bakery porch? Well, for one, because they said yes to my (apparently) ridiculous request to sleep outdoors (free
