Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia Saturday, May 29, 2010
It was a colleague's daughter's birthday party today held at the Hotel Mongolia resort. The buildings are lovely and the site is built along the Tuul river about 10 miles (16 km) outside of UB.
I've never really thought of a river as having a "beach", but it really was a lovely beach party. No doubt my lack of imagination on that score is due to growing up on lake and ocean beaches.
A was ready to jump in and go swimming in her party dress, but somehow I persuaded her to be content with going in up to her knees.
