Mongolia | Zaisan Tolgoi | Birthday Bacchanalia

To celebrate my Birthday I recently held a Bacchanalia at my hovel in Zaisan Tolgoi. Present were Uyanga, Jaga, Tuul, Yooton, and Saraa.

Mongolia | Töv Aimag | Baganuur Woman’s Day

From the Chingis Statue we wandered on out to Baganuur, about eighty-five miles east of Ulaan Baatar, where we popped in to see Zevgee and wish his wife Tümen-Ölzii a happy Women’s Day.

Saka, Tümen-Ölzii, Zevgee, Günj, and I once did a Horse Trip Together to Khagiin Khar Nuur. Just last fall Yooton, Tümen-Ölzii, Zevgee, and I did a Horse Trip to Khökh Nuur and Baldan Bereeven Khiid. So we had a lot of reminiscing to do .
