WOW

We went to the biggest yard sale on the planet yesterday. It's called the black market and there are hundreds of small shops. Here are a few pictures. We also went to Zuunkharaa to discuss a well/water station building and deliver gardening supplies.  We traveled in a car with the mission president and then because he was going on to Selenge we took the train back to UB.  It was delightful.  I could ride the train all over Mongolia.  It is very inexpensive and you get off the beaten track and see more of the countryside.  It is starting to green up, grass emerging, trees budding, and sheep, goats, cows, yaks, camels, and horses having their babies.  We saw several newly born colts along with lambs and baby goats. There are only 2 or 3 paved roads after you leave UB and the dirt roads are mostly unimproved so it is just a trail from town to town.  We had a good week and got lots done.
