keepsakes

Gifts from my generous Mongolian friends and students:

#1 felt miniature ger (yurt) - it even has furniture inside
#2 portrait of Genghis Kaan - the most beloved of Mongolian heroes
#3 morin khuur - traditional Mongolian instrument


artwork by local artists:


Russian candy (a new favorite, and a staple on this trip) and a leather journal:


The journal is from Temka, one of the camp cooks -- and one of the many new friends I will miss.


Travel update:  I'm posting from the airport in Moscow, where I'll board shortly for my connecting flight to Los Angeles.
