Sorry we didn't post yesterday--we had quite a long and tiring day. We drove 1-1/2 hours to the grasslands to visit a Mongolian family farm, and Saturday evening we were treated to a hot pot meal by Lynnette, an English teacher at the Hohhot Teacher's College, who is a friend of Ruth's brother. She was very happy to have visitors from the U. S., and generously paid for our meal. She brought two of her students along, who were very nice and helpful. Hot pot is sort of like fondue -- there is a boiling pot of broth, they give you meat, vegatables, and noodles and you cook it yourself. It was delicious! The restaurant gave us coconut ice cream bars at the end, which greatly pleased Danny. Another thing Danny really liked was relaxing in the yurt (see picture)!

What fun you must be having. Now Danny and Merle and I can talk about yurts and compare notes since we too enjoyed relaxing in a yurt in Mongolia. We'll have to dig out those pictures to share with you all when you come home...
It was great to be able to see the little group of yurts in your picture...memories abound!
