Finally Pictures!


Us at a dance. they have 'discos' every sunday night in our tiny village.


Justin dancing the Mongolian waltz with is host mom.


My little sister and I at an old socialist statue.


Squashed in a tiny bus...there were 15 of us in it all together for about an hour. we were going to get our 2nd round of shots--yay.

A cow wandering in my ger one morning.


Justin milking a cow...unsuccessfully. though he denies it.

This is the only yak I've seen in our village. He just goes to get water from the well.



Justin's ger (behind the awesome saab).


Justin and his host uncle (who is 17) sawing firewood.

Justin and his host uncle (Gangeesh) filling their water barrel.



This is a random cow in a nearby town...we think it is so funny that cows just roam wherever they want here.


Us at orientation our 1st real day in Mongolia!


Our comfy bunk beds we slept on for the first 5 nights in Mongolia before going to our training sites. Plywood...that's all it is.


Sorry the picture are out of order, but the weather here is crazy and the power here has already gone out...so I don't want to lose everything. Our lives are good-- we are having fun!

You look great! And Justin is working hard. I can't believe the calf came in your ger just like in the Babies movie. Next he will be drinking your bath water--while you are still in it! Your package is going in the mail today (or tomorrow). Cranberry juice (mix) is on it's way!
