Night in a Yurt

This is the yurt that we stayed in for my birthday.

Yurt's are Mongolian houses.Everything out here becomes a cultural mixture so you can find Mongolian and Kazak symbols next to Chinese lanterns.Peek-a-boo!

We weren't in the mountains but they were close by.

Still have some snow.

This is one of the owners of the yurt we stayed in.

Our surroundings didn't offer the cleanest or prettiest view, here is where they hang their laundry.

Some of this is used for cooking.

You can see the black piles of coal that they used for heat.
Lunch is always hanging around waiting to be cut up and cooked.
