New update----------

Folks,I have safely escaped Ulaan Bataar and have made my way to Choibalsanto begin my journey. The van ride was a little less than pleasant.Picture a town and country packed with 17 people for 18 hours on dirtroads. The people have been very friendly tho. They passed aroundvodka and beer on the ride and kept asking me to sing songs by"Salinger"?. After they began to sing "My Heart Will Go On" by CelineDeon I caught on and joined in. Needless to say there is a smalllanguage barrier.Anyways I am rather nervous but i think i have gathered everything IIneed to begin. I will be walking along the Khrelen river and hope tobe able to email another update in around 15 days. If I cant find theinternet ill send a text. Hope all is well and thanks for the wingsupdate.
