Parent Party

My parents, the wonderful Sue + Steve, recently paid me a visit here in Mongolia. They took in most of the usual hotspots - the National History Museum, Gandan Monastery and the souvenir section on the 5th floor of the State Department Store. They also embarked upon a journey with me north to Lake Khuvsgul, a huge body of fresh water up near Russia.

Oh what an adventure it was. We trucked along in a Russian jeep, narrowly avoided a hail storm while riding horses and wondered if we'd ever make it home while stranded in the middle of nowhere with no phone reception and only three tires to our name. We also drank a lot of vodka and played a lot of cards. I put together a little video of some of our (well, mostly Steve's) escapades:

There are a few more pics on Flickr, but this one is particularly awesome. It's Sue. And an eagle.



BYE SUE + STEVE. SEE YOU SOON. YOU WERE EXCELLENT VISITORS x
