I can't believe I've been here one month! (Incidentally, I started this post several days ago, but the Internet connection is not great, so it takes a while.)
First night in Mongolia. A bunch of us trainees hiked to the top of a nearby hill by our ger camp for beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.
Brittney and I model our new tumpens - bucket/pot for bathing and washing - which also double as top hats. ;-)

My host brother, sister-in-law, and niece. And our house!

Visiting my host uncle's ger.
Outside of the ger.
Horseback riding!
This place is often quite magical.
