Out on the Steppe


Our hostess in her ger. This woman trains horses and lives out on the steppe.

Saturday, our Mongolian hosts took us out to the countryside. On the Steppe, near the Kherlen river, we visited a traditional ger, “rode” horses, had a big Mongolian feast, played soccer (not me Dr. Parks, not me . . . ) and a little volleyball. It was a great day with the whole OR team outside under the “eternal blue sky” that is so sacred to the Mongolian people.
