Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia Tuesday, June 29, 2010
This morning Frank and I joined Habitat for Humanity on the outskirts of Ulaanbaatar for a short stint on the "Blue Sky Build". This week, volunteers from around the world are working with Mongolian families in an ambitious project to build about 30 homes. Mostly, we kept busy cutting pieces of styrofoam insulation and carrying bricks. We also got a chance to try our brick-laying skills. It's a lot harder than it looks to make those rows all pretty and even!
PS: I hate to go on about the weather, but we arrived on the site at 7:30am and before long our lips were blue from the cold. Things finally warmed up a bit around 10am. Was it blazing hot only yesterday?
