A weekend in Mongolia's Tuul River Valley

An old East German military vehicle served as our transportation through the Tuul River to the lodge

Finally! The Mongolia that everyone ooh's and ahh's over!

I spent this weekend at the Tuul Riverside Lodge, where the team and I were surrounded by rolling hillsides, roaming cows and horses (including a white mustang that I trotted through rivers with), wide blue skies and abundant stars. (Almost) needless to say, it was a very welcome change from the urban landscape of Ulaanbaatar! We had an equal balance of work and play :)
