| We joined the Naadam festivities for another day, watching sports, looking at people, walking around and munching on cheap-eats like the ever-present mutton over rice. We saw kids, ages 6-12, finish a 28 km race across the steppe. Over 700 horses and kids raced, whooped, and hollered like a miniature Mongolian horde. |

| We saw an interesting Mongolian cultural show, complete with throat singing (a guttural sound) accompanied by local Mongolian instruments and dancers.

| Enjoying Mongolian hospitality. That means men have to finish off several bottles of vodka - women can stop after three shots. |
