June 21st - "Sukbaatar"




We were meant to set off on the road again today, but we woke up to pouring rain so we kept sleeping until lunchtime - except there was no lunch, really.  There is a grocery store across from where we are staying and it has 4 aisles: the first two are full of all of the candies and chocolate under the sun, the third aisle is alcohol and the fourth is the dairy aisle with fridges that are not on.  There was a vegetable section at the back that was completely empty.  Needless to say we walked out with a bag full of M&M's, Oreo cookies, Pringles and Coke.  We found a restaurant that was open, but as we couldn't read the menu and the waitress couldn't speak English we let her pick our dish.  We actually ended up with rice, mashed potatoes and mutton.  Not quite into mutton, but the rest was delish.  I tried to order another plate each for Ali and I with no mutton, but the waitress thought we were complaining about the meat so we ended up just leaving.  Sooooo hungry!
