Mongolia was fascinating.  I could be away from the capital, Ulaanbaatar, and feel like I stepped back in time hundreds of years.  The indigenous people were so friendly.  I stayed with a family.  Boy, do they work hard!  
Every morning the food was prepared fresh.  It was delicious.  But a lot of time and labor to put it all together.  I have such respect for the family and community I stayed with during my trip.
