26th August

Have spent four nights with a lovely family in the middle of nowhere...........there is one other ger close by, where I was invited just after they had killed a goat to go and eat the intestines - considered a delicacy. Just as well my stomach isn't easily turned!!

Most of the food is goat in some form or another, either that or it's dried curd, or a milk product. Together with rice, noodles or a few potatoes if I am lucky. Haven't seen sight of fruit or vegetables since I arrived in Mongolia!

Learns so far:
Don't worry - Que sera sera
Accept - rather than judge (the nomads have a very relaxed attitude, no big goodbyes or hellos, just come & go as you please)
Do everything purposefully
Take pleasure in the smallest things..........like clean teeth!!
