We stopped on our way just past the camels to "bless" our trip. Proper ovoo etiquette requires that one circle the ovoo three times and place a rock on each go-around. Our friend and driver says that this will make "good luck for our trip."
Alternately, if one chooses not to stop at an ovoo, one can honk three times as one speeds past.
