Picture Time!








Ask 100 times and you shall recieve photos!

These are from Tsagaan Sar.

Picture 1:
Taken from the gandaan on one of our eating outings. Just a cool shot.

Picture 2:
Jesse and I in our cute outfits.

Picture 3:
Buddist shrine. One of the more elaborate ones I saw on our travels. The man in the photo is my boss's dad.

Picture 4:
Jesse and the dad exchanging snuff bottles. Note the fur hat.

Picture 5 and 6:
Traditional tables set for tsagaan sar. The sheep back and butt is supposed to bring good fortune the more fat there is. The stacks of bread I don't understand but they are also supposed to be associated with luck. They are toped with milk products and decorated with candy. All white food which is the pure and good food. Tsagaan Sar means white month.

Picture 7:
Half of our ger. You are looking at the kitchen.
