Very Busy

We did three interesting things this week.  Saturday was no car day in Ulaanbaatar. The day started out with a 5 K run--we think about 20,000 people were running--old, young and in between--quite a sight! It was a really fun day.  No cars, no traffic, and the streets were full of people playing, riding their bikes, walking, running, skate boarding or roller blading.  It went on all day--it really was a sight to see and so nice to have no congestion and families having a great time.  
Also, we helped a lady haul water to her home.  The water station is 1/4 of a mile away, up hill.  We each pulled a cart, with different size water containers, up to the station and back 5 times. We hauled 130 gallons of water.  She will use the water for her geir and for her garden. She usually does this 4 times a week, in the summer, and she makes 6 trips each time.  We were give out after 3 trips.  
On Monday we drove to Choibalsan to meet with the Mayor, the Province Governor, and the contractor on a well/water station DIC is building. We saw lots of horses on our 18 hour round trip.  We loved seeing so many baby horses--they were everywhere.  We are doing fine.  Very busy.
