Today we finally left the city, its noise, and its smog. Though I must say not nearly as many drivers honked as they did in Beijing, and at least we could see blue skies. None the less, I’m excited to head toward the countryside.
We loaded in our yellow bus with relatively comfortable seats and prepared for a five hour journey to Eden Camp. The main road was paved though rather bumpy. It took us past rolling green hills as well sandy ones that were still waiting on the grass to grow. Mongolia has been in a drought thus the vegetation for the horses has been limited much to the dismay of the nomads. The few brief showers over the last three days with the start of rainy season has brought the landscape to life.
TAKE THE JOURNEY!
