Th...Hi Pamela, really enjoy reading your blog also.<br />That view was taken as we were being driven out into the plains to look for families for our group to stay with, as spoken about in my earlier blog post of Hure' and his horse. So it's not a very good quality pic, as snapped through the bus window as we were moving. From the plains we drove right up into vast vallys then were dropped off at various nomad gers on families who just accepted our sudden arrival.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07618511960243841803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839632013669425872.post-39220656767281387742011-01-21T18:40:49.198-08:002011-01-21T18:40:49.198-08:00Wow!

It will be very hard on the nomads given the northern winter this year across Europe. But they will wrap them in extra layers of felt made from their sheep or goats, and with a centrally placed fire box burning, they'll be very snug.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07618511960243841803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839632013669425872.post-28098104017673147052011-01-21T11:27:31.950-08:002011-01-21T11:27:31.950-08:00How encompassing!
