Found these in my ger in the bathroom. I thought they were towels. Duh. They are toilet paper. But I’ve seen so much worse in other countries… Sometimes the texture of crepe paper decorations!

ICE!!!

Reminds me of the dirty ice and snow in Minnesota in May.
She said it was a little waterfall!
June 11th and having to dress like this is ridiculous.

When there’s not a lot of beautiful green scenery to be seen, a little bird is great entertainment.
Must have been a little river there. Now it’s a bridge over dirt.
Rock and Ice.
This was the city center that I took a video of when I thought they were going to have a parade. Everything happens in this Square.
Evidence of some of the first men were found in Mongolia.
Genghis Khan was born Temüjin to a royal clan of the Mongols. When he was nine, his father Yesügei was poisoned and Temüjin was held captive by his former supporters. He later escaped, killed his half-brother, and began gathering supporters and manpower in his teenage years.
How did Genghis Khan come to power?
After becoming the head of his clan, Genghis Khan forged alliances with other clans, exterminated the existing clan nobility, and overpowered enemy tribes such as the Tatars. In 1206 an assembly of leaders declared him universal emperor (chinggis khān) of the Mongolian steppe.
What was Genghis Khan best known for?
Genghis Khan was best known for unifying the Mongolian steppe under a massive empire that was able to challenge the powerful Jin dynasty in China and capture territory as far west as the Caspian Sea.
Note the proper spelling of chinggis Khan.
A statue caravan of camels grace the city of Ulaanbaatar. I don’t know why; but they were cool.
We flew from Ulaanbataaar to the Gobi Desert. The Chingis Airline had a propeller airplane and very small luggage return system; but at least it was a paved Runway. Snacks were interesting. The triangle was pine nuts — delicious.
The gers were interesting and I was so excited to see the stars at night since we were in the middle of nowhere. Sadly, it was cloudy and I never saw them.
I can’t complain about any of the gers we stayed in. They had bathrooms, hot water and showers.
No complaints bathrooms, hot water and showers! Works for me
I love all your comments.!
When you mentioned the wine at 7:30am I thought you meant you were drinking at 7:30 …. and then I realized it was ME!
It takes me forever to put these blogs together, but when you read them and seem to appreciate them, it makes all the time I spend on doing it, worthwhile.
Dawn and I are going to the art museum soapbox tomorrow at 2:00. It’s no longer held at the Museum but in the community center of Daytona Beach Shores. I wonder if they have a spot and if you can meet us — it would be great. Give them a call.
Otherwise I hope to see you on Friday at 2:00 at Dawn’s.
I saw Liz at line dancing tonight and she says the report is cancer-free. It’s a miracle! I am so happy to hear it! And I am so grateful to hear it, too.
See you soon!
