Food



The first day, and every day, included wonderful meals. As Chaagii told us, we had culture in the desert – always served beautifully and very tasty. Unlike some tours we’ve been on, this one we got to eat with our guide and driver. While Jack doesn’t know very much English yet, Chaagii was a fabulous translator, working to keep all of us in the know of what was going on. We had a tour of the history museum and a walk through one of the plazas. Chinggis Khan, better known to the Western world as Genghis Khan is very famous in Mongolian history as the man who brought Mongolian tribes together. It was fascinating to read and hear about how he changed the lives of his people.
