Cheese, boots, and much much more

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

This afternoon Frank and I had time for a leisurely stroll around Naran Tuul (the Black Market). It's vacation week, so, for once, no hurry. However, with the temperature hovering around freezing, it's not like we lingered for long at the outdoor stalls...







Pictured here: 1) Arul is a Mongolian cheese product (dried milk curds) that comes in all shapes & sizes & levels of sweetness & hardness. Be careful: the really hard stuff might break your teeth... 2) Mongolian boots are real works of art 3) Sweets!
