Arrived in Mongolia 10:30 pm on Saturday March 17. Met our hosts who picked us (Abby Mills with Civic Voices and me) up at the airport. They are so nice. It’s 1:30am now — completely unpacked, 2 cups of Sleepytime tea, 1 cup of Airbourne. Temp outside 16F, but inside – maybe 85F. I cracked the window open for A/C. Lonely Planet warned about this in the hotels. We are staying at the Springs Hotel. I believe it is a boutique hotel. Room is nice; futon-like bed, and bath is definitely Asian style. Heat only inside, and you can’t control the temp. Since I didn’t sleep on the plane at all I should really go to bed. I think I watched 4 movies on the plane. Today’s (30 hours) travel was flawless. Korean Airlines is fantastic. All my bags made it!
Tomorrow (Sunday) we have a guided democracy tour by our host students. I’m looking forward to also visiting a large Buddhist temple – Gandan Temple and Choijin Lama Monastery.
1:50 am …. Going to sleep!

I love Korean Air! The flight to Seoul is the longest I’ve ever done too, and I think I also watched 4 movies and a few TV shows. But it was a good flight. Sounds like you’re having a great time, I can’t wait to hear more.
Lisa is that pic of u kissing the frog from Germany?
Yes! I can’t remember if that was the first or second frog though, I kissed several!
