I had a wonderful 34th birthday complete with food, friends, and electricity.  We were joined by Darkhuu, Emma (the Peace Corps volunteer), and our good friend John who was riding his motorcycle around the world and just happened to be in town for my big day.  We made pizzas in Darkhuu’s tiny oven, had delicious drinks prepared by Emma, and finished with a glorious cake.  I received much needed slippers and books from Brian, wonderful goodies from Sarah in England, and a totally unexpected Chinggis Khan rug from Darkhuu.  It now hangs in a place of honor in our home.

The lovely cake Darkhuu ordered from Dalanzadgad.

Some delicious candy from Tsendee.
