Lazy ass Mongolians in the capitol. Sure it's recreation - recreation from beating their wives and drinking heavily.
Temples in Ulan Batar
The State Department Store - just as the Russians would have wanted.
Our fearless driver and his jeep.
Somewhere
President of Mongolia - Nambaryn Enkhbayar at the 800 Year Celebration of the "great" Mongol Gengis Khan.
a large tapestry for the Nadaam Festival in Kharkorum
the Mongolian president - I shook his hand
Quick - somebody get Botox!
The Prez and his posse.
Nadaam Festival in Kharkorum - the next Marlboro country
Kharkorum
the ger we stayed in in Kharkorum
Our fearless driver. Not drunk at time of photo.
Dead horse. Everywhere we went in Mongolia there were carcass.
Such a beautiful temple. First you pay to go inside, then you pay to take pictures, then you pay if you want to take video. Foreigner price. Paid to monks. Greedy ass bastards.
One of my VERY favorite things in Mongolia.
About an hour outside Tstetserleg - this is the view from our ger
Mongolian Edelweiss
Yak attack...or not.
The White Lake area.
Got goat/camel/yak cheese?
Ger friends
A fully furnished ger.
Including the kitchen sink.
We stopped for a little local bow and arrow action along the roadside
Our driver and the roadside archery hosts. Is it more disturbing that Kristofer & I were better at archery than they were or that Kristofer was wearing his jean rolled up like that?
Seriously, are the Russians still here somewhere?
Can you spot a Russian?
Sexy, no? This was the entrance to a hotel option.
Hotel hallway. I smell asbestos.
Which side do you want to sleep on?
I can't freakin decide which room to take!
Oh, I love this. Can't remember the city. Left by the Russians & the Mongolians didn't do a thing to maintain it.
I was sitting in a field in the middle of absolutely nowhere, this guy trotted over, sat down, lit up, smoked his pipe and off he went.
If I ever need jaw replacement surgery I've got my own.
To my right (and left)
Just need to follow the tracks. You think the drive from Vegas to Phoenix is boring?
Now I did really like this. These are camels near our camp near Bayanzag.
Curious camel
Here I am. Playing with dinosaur bones.
They're showing me more dinosaur bones.
Kristofer finally went Flinstone
Scary?
No, not really.
