Gün Galuut Nature Reserve, MongoliaTuesday, June 1, 2010
Today is a national holiday in Mongolia: Mother & Children's Day. Together with some colleagues, we made an escape from the city yesterday afternoon for a 24-hour get-away to the Gün Galuut Nature Reserve which lies about 130 km east of Ulaanbaatar.
The weather was gorgeous, the setting along the river lovely, the gers spotless and comfortable, and the staff helpful.
The kids chased each other while the adults watched birds and clouds and looked for the Argali big horn sheep (without any luck). And a picnic by the river under a large gazebo.
Altogether a wonderful 24-hour get-away.
