If I thought yesterday's drive was absolutely shit, today's drive was the mother of all shit roads. For over 10 hours, Demchig drove over roads that looked more like mini-canyons or ponds. To break up the day, we stopped at an ovoo on a mountaintop for much needed break and to take some pictures of local "residents". It's mostly inhibited by pikas and marmots (tarvaga).
The weather was rainy and chilly today. Summer seems to be winding down here in the northern part of Mongolia. Grass is starting to turn yellow and feels more like autumn than summer.
Tonight was Emma's last night with us, so we decided to go out to dinner in Moron and celebrate. Pizza was everyone's choice...unfortunately the restaurant that serves pizza required a two hour wait (something LP neglected to mention). We ended up staying at the restaurant since they had free wi-fi and ordered something that didn't take two hours to make. Back at the ger, Hogy surprised Emma with a bottle of wine as a good-bye gift, which Emma shared with everyone as post-dinner drink!
