Saturday Trip

The organization that I volunteer for has an eight month leadership training program that introduces and teaches 24 recent Mongolians the art of leadership. Saturday was their graduation, so our organization took them all to Terelj National Park, and my role in all of this was to take pictures. So, I did. Lots of pictures.

We arrived at our meeting place in the morning and divided into two groups, a large group that travels in the bus and a small group that travels behind the bus in a minivan. I was on the bus. Actually, in the front of the bus. Actually, right next to the gearshift in a most uncomfortable position on the bus. But, since I was in the front, I got to take some pretty cool pictures of the trip.

Here's some:

And on the way we passed by camels and horses and other Mongolian people:



At the park, my coworkers and I climbed up a very tall cliff with rocky falls and steep slopes. I flexed some rock-climbing muscle and reached the top and took some pictures.

These are GERS!

Overall, awesome trip. I had mucho fun. I want to go ride a camel, really bad. Maybe on the next trip...
