when 9 days rapidly becomes 3...

okay, so it's courtney's turn with the update, but apparently she's too tired so the full story of how our 8 day trip into the mongolian countryside rapidly became only 3 days -when faced with sub zero temperatures, a broken down jeep, foul (and i mean foul) nosebag and 3 feet of snow - will have to wait a few days. in the meantime here are the photos.

in other news, major excitment at the purchase, in ulan bator's state department store, of 2 mini speakers. once plugged into the ipod we are going to rock the last leg of the trans siberian tomorrow. this is almost more exciting than travelling itself...

till bejing...

out in outer mongolia

well, the good news is that we made it through russian customs. 6 hours of waiting on a train and eventually all the paperwork was complete and we could proceed to mongolia.

the other good news is that we have discovered the video function on the digital camera. just as soon as we can figure out how to post video to the site, you'll all be able to share our secretly filmed video of the russian border, complete with comedy commentary by yours truly.

but that's for later. firstly we disappear of into the mongolian countryside for 9 days. no email, no electricity, only mutton. so no updates for a little while.
