Ger (yurt) Camp

That's the wooden door to the felt ger. Virtually all of those we've seen are also covered with a layer of white canvas and have white sheeting inside. Brightens things up. So does the bright painted decoration on all the wooden parts.
There were about 20 gers at this camp. Ours was the closest one in this photo. That may even be BoomBoom standing there watching the full moon rise over the steppes of Asia.

Sunset on our last evening. OK..OK so it could be a sunset anywhere, but, trust me, it is setting over the steppes of Asia. We were seeing it from near a stone circle that could be a burial mound from Ghenggis Khaan's time. Or a pile of rocks formed as the herders tossed them out of the way of the track their animals take.  More questions than answers, that's for sure.

Sarah-
Your face has flitted through my mind recently. Oh how I miss your ramblings. My love is floating to you in whatever far away place you may be landing in... Ani is starting to walk and dance. We love you...
