Ulan Bator
Mongolia

August 14, 2010

Dear Family and Friends,

Rather than subjecting myself to a difficult journey over less than adequate roads, I decided to follow Baaysa’s advice and take day-trips from Ulan Bator to the relatively close and accessible national parks.

There were three trips and each one provided a unique landscape.

I met Baaysa by chance in Bangkok, and with her friend Batschka and our driver, we traveled through some of the most gorgeous scenery I have ever encountered.
