ULAANBAATAR

           We're in the dining car with the Louis Vuitton gang crossing the border into Mongolia
                                                                Greeted by a duststorm
                                                                           More dust
                                                                 Houses at the border



                                                                Awed by the log cabin
                        ...because each log has the number of assembly on it: cabin by numbers!

                                                                  Inside our fancy ger!
                                                Wierd club nearby -- dragon's playhouse

                                                    Hiking up the mountain thru village
                                                           Back at our holiday camp!

                          Guitarman statue on the back of the Beatles statue in downtown UB
                                                            Giant Mongolian Magpie!
                                                                   Hiking the hills
                                           Looking bk at our village, view down mountain
                           
                                The summit -- where folks leave their crutches -- quite moving
                             A flourescent veggie stand in UB (John's bag is trying to blend in)

Wishing Tree
 
the hills are alive...

 
music of the spheres as we cross into Mongolia   
                                      second try for a truck trying to get out of the river bed
