| After two weeks of bone jarring dirt tracks, we were not sad to see an actual graded road and traffic (just four cars). Even though this also meant more people as we approached the capital, Ulaanbaatar, the sights were still as colorful and sunny as ever and were not at all ruined by progress. |

| We had a visitor during lunch. He saw us from his camp and came over to inquire if we had a light for his cigarette. |

| Our guides are sitting around the dung fire, waiting for the smoky flavored tea to boil. Mmm mmm good! |

| This was our first sign of a properly built road. The asphalt section was not far beyond this. |

| Going through the town Tsetserleg, you can see how it has grown up the hillside, one yard at a time. |

| I jumped out of the car to catch this sunset over the river. After, I had to walk 15 minutes down the road to our campsite. |

| It was a beautiful morning for our last day of camping. We were sad to leave the countryside but could not wait for a warm shower! |

| The sunshine did not last long as a rainstorm swept across the plains. Not really the shower we were hoping for. |

| | | |
| Having packed our last tent on the trip, we were looking forward to the creature comforts of civilization: hot water, fast food, and cheap entertainment. However, for two of our guides, this was their first time to a city so we decided to introduce them to the urban living essentials of pizza and a 3D movie. |
