First the baby gets things started, then the people take over.

  • I love the dish and the solar panel. Really, we could learn a lot about sustainable living from the Mongolians...
  • When someone offers you airag, be prepared. It's not polite to turn it down, but it's okay if you drink just a sip. Even if it's dressed up in a cute little coffee mug, it's still fermented mare's milk, and it's easily the grossest thing I have ever tasted.
  • Dental health--always important!
  • Anne-Laure helps prepare the noodles for dinner.
  • Hoops, anyone?
  • Remember, airag (fermented mare's milk) is NOT tasty! (To me, anyway...)
  • Yummy noodles!
  • Each ger has an altar, usually Buddhist, and always accompanied by photos.
  • A typical ger pantry.
  • Dinner is served! Noodles, mutton, and potatoes. Actually quite good!
  • Anne Laure helps with the after-dinner chores.
  • First the baby gets things started, then the people take over.
  • What a pro! Who knew milking horses could be so much fun!
  • Yikkity-yak...
