First snow

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

Woke up to a gray sky and snow all around this morning. It's not too cold and it probably won't last long, but the first snow is here!

Managed to jog this afternoon anyway. We'll see what happens to the running when the really cold weather returns...

Camp!

Terelj National Park, Mongolia

Got home yesterday from three wonderful days at camp with my students. Lots of outdoor games, cold nights, sunny days, a campfire with s'mores, hikes--and yes, even a camel tethered on the hillside.

Lots of wonderful bonding time and fantastic weather--except for the first night when I almost froze despite two pairs of long johns and piles of covers.
