Happy Halloween! Well my friends, it’s been a while. A whole two months
passed since the last time I wrote. A lot has happened since the last time I
wrote. Let’s see if I can catch you up on the madness.
The first biggest event we had here in Umnugovi was the Gobi
Marathon. Several PCVs came down for the marathon. It was also a quasi-family
reunion between some PCVs, namely me, Jerome (my pseudo big brother), Kelbe (my
pseudo cousin) and Jimmy (my other pseudo cousin). If I can remember right, 9
or 10 PCVs and a couple of the staff came down for the event. It was a good
weekend for them to come down. During that Thursday and Friday, Dalanzadgad had
a craft fair where herders and others came down to sell their goods. While
there were some homemade cashmere products, the fair was mostly food based with
people selling aral, airag, bislek, and other dairy based products.
