As of 2:00 this afternoon, I am off on my way to the Gobi with some kids from my group, and then with a short day in between at home on Tuesday, Enkhe and I are off to the countryside, about 2 hours outside of Ulaanbaatar for the rest of the week where we will be interviewing four different families. Along the way, we will also be stopping to visit one of Enkhe's cousins who owns a horse stable and many horses who compete every year in the Nadaam horse races. One of the horses actually took 2nd place this year at the national competition which Enkhe and her family are very proud of, and why she is so excited to show them to me. Mongolian horses are smaller and very fiesty animals, so as for riding one myself (not to mention the second fastest horse in Mongolia!), I'll cross that hurdle when I come to it...

I'll update again when I return!
