Big Family Hike with Team

We drove an hour around the south side of this mountain from Ulaanbaatar.

 And started walking up the back

Until we were finally in the clear.

They said we could see the city from up there.

 And there it is behind Clara.

 We all tried to catch a gaze of our home through the haze.

Our teammate and his colleagues enjoy a snack with the view.

And happy we are to be back at the trail and car ride home.

It was quite a 5+ hour tour, sign says 6 km each way.

American School Scenes

We climbed the hill behind Clara and Josiah's school last weekend.

That's it in blue and yellow behind them.

Clara was invited to run the mile with a select few of the middle school girls.

She ran strong, taking 15 seconds off her previous time!

Black Forest Dorm Fun

Maggie Lydia and I have been at Black forest for about two weeks. We have been very busy! Her are some picture explaining our activities.

This is all of our dorm sisters together for orientation day where we all got accepted into the dorm.

This was a few days ago when a couple of us decided to take picture with our different brightly colored umbrellas.

This was at a local festival in town where we ate funnel cakes, Sauer Kraut, and more.
