Since the last two posts were mostly text, we decided to throw a bunch a pictures your way this time! They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, and if you are like us, you probably enjoy the pictures more anyway!! With that said, feast your eyes on a plethora of pictures from our life and a few bits of text as well ( I was an English major, I have to write something!)
These were taken before it became Winter and are just a few views of the area near where we live.
These are in the west side of town near the home of some teammates. We thought they looked like sand sculptures, but they were actually made of concrete. Kind of neat none-the-less!
Here sits the fearless attendence keeper with an eye out for late comers; and trust me, we have them every week!
This murial is painted on the back wall of one of the classrooms we have used. It seemed very unique and colorful! We later learned that that classroom is a music room among other things, so the piano keys kind of make sense now!
Huge green beans, home made bread bowls with clam chowder, and home made hamburger buns OH MY!!!! Man cannot live on mutton alone (actually we don't live on it much anyway)!
Ah! Let it snow, let it snow!! Sadly, we haven't gotten much more than this, but we had snow on the ground for Christmas!
Our neighboring ger covered in snow. Check out the wooden slats standing upright next to the fence. You guessed it!! The bathroom!! We just think about that and we get cold!!! PTL for an indoor toilet and running water; its the little things in life!!
The next picture is of our least favorite mode of transportation, a microbus. It is little more than a souped up minivan with a crazy Mongolian driver and about 20 people (or more) squashed in it!! You can probably understand why we prefer to take the bus!
Here is proof that I do help around the house! This may be all I do, but its better than nothing!!
Right Dear?!
See the napkins next to the sink, the white stack. Would you believe that they have an expiration date?
Well they do! We are good though, they don't expire for another two years!! Nothing like a napkin past it's prime!!
You may be wondering what this is all about. This is the light in our half bath. We had it on one day when it went out. We thought it might just be the bulb but found that the wire had burnt in two!! When our landlord's son came to fix it, we learned that the original electrician skimped on his work. PTL our apartment didn't burn down!! The building wouldn't have gone up because it is concrete, but our apartment could have been toast!!
The Mongolian rule for crossing a road, get in a large group and then walk across regardless of what is coming. There is a crosswalk right there too, but those mean little here. Road crossings test a person's true metal, guts, or stupidity!!
Maybe not quite a plethora by definition, but this post is going to have to last you. We are leaving for Thailand on January 19th and won't be back until February 17th. We will get another one out for you to read after we get back! By the way, THANKS FOR READING OUR BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
