 At last, another travel post!  Thanks for sticking with me for the fundraising and volunteering; it was a welcome change of pace, but I’m happy to be back exploring.  This time, I left the sprawling, somewhat bland cityscape of UB behind and traded it for the sprawling hills and wild horses of Hustai National Park.  …

I Climbed Cathedral Mountains, I Saw Silver Clouds Below…

Sometimes a place you visit makes you realize how majestic this world is.  When you stand on the peak of a mountain and feel the cool mist of clouds wafting across your skin.  When you look out over a rugged and savage vista and, for just a moment, you feel like an eagle priviliged to …
