Terelj, English class, and guests for dinner

 

Tara, Tassa, and Tawny at Medicine Monastery entrance

We finished up our Tuesday outing after our adventure with the birds by continuing on to Terelj with stops at a beautiful valley, Monk's Cave, Turtle rock and Medicine Monastery. We drove back to Ulaanbaatar in time for our English class where our daughters helped our students practice their English.

We finish up the night with a pizza dinner at our apartment for Ulzicka, Davadorj and their Mother Naranchimeg. Unfortunately we didn't take any pictures of our dinner party. We crowded a lot in to what turned out to be a beautful travel day.
