gerbil dreams

21 days in the Mongolian wilderness - does this have my name written all over it or what?!

Trying to figure out how I can afford such a luxurious indulgence. Well ... luxurious may be an overstatement, considering I'd be living in a shared tent* with only a bowl of water each day to clean myself. But, how cool would it be! Mongolia! The Gobi Desert!

I first got interested in Mongolia when I had pet gerbils in 3rd grade and wrote a report on where they came from. And gers/yurts - way too cool. If any place in the world could be exotic, it would be Mongolia. Must go!

(Shared tent = ger [often called yurt here, but that's offensive] usually made of yak hides. Hm ... an odor minimizer in order here?)
