Yertland



I have been down in central Mongolia, northern end of Gobi desert. 

Five days of trekking through the desert by foot, camel, and horse cart, jeep, and motorcycle was quite interesting. Fed by local herder families. Drank fermented mares milk. Ate goat cheese (what the lady is making below). Saw lots of rocks, sand, and goats, sheep, horses and some big beetles. Slept in tents and yerts. 

Only electricity was solar. And that was just enough to run the televisions and cell phones. 

There is a lot to say about this segment of the trip. Suffice for now to leave it at: "glad I did it, and it is good to be back."
