Tawny is quite at home in Mongolia - black hat and all Tassa looking like Julia Roberts in Mongolia The other site where photography was not allowed was of the 40 foot Statue of Buddha. It was a surreal sight and even a more surreal sound coming from thee mouths of these monks. We saw about 25 - 30 Buddhist monks chanting Tibetan scriptures in two different Monastery locations. There were a few places where photography was not allowed. During the 1930s, the communist government detroyed most of the Buddhist monasteries in the country but left a few important ones intact so as to not incite a rebellion of the Mongolians to communist/Russian rule.

We started off the day visting the Gandan Monstery, then went to the Khan Winter and Summer Palace Museums, then a tour of a Cashmere factory and finally we went to Much of what she saw was new to her also as Ulaanbaatar has changed dramatically in the last 13 years. Two of our daughters (Tara, Tassa) were new to Mongolia and one (Tawny) had served her as a missionary from 1998 to 2000. We took our three daughters on a city tour with Jangar as our tour guide. The scenes we visited were stunning and gorgeous.
There was already about 3 inches of snow on the ground and it snowed lightly all day until about 4:30 pm. This was the only light, fluffy snowfall all winter.
