Pictures

I took another trip to the river. This time the taxi driver didn't even ask me if I was Russian, he just started speaking to me in Russian as soon as I got in. I told him I was American, and then he began speaking to me in Mongolian. They always assume I know more than I do, but I got most of it.
Anyway, I guess I should shut up and post the pictures. Click on the pictures to enlarge them.

Here is the frozen river, with some barely visible me-tracks.

A bunch of guys were playing a rather impressive game. They try to slide flat, smooth objects down this ice lane and get them in a target that's about 18 inches wide. They usually get them in.
I'm getting the feeling that Mongolians hate foreigners taking their picture. I asked if I could take a picture and they said yes, but I had to take three shots to get a decent one and they were starting to get annoyed by the third.

Ice.....

Another me-track.
