Up to Day 51...an unintended hiatus
Sorry for the lack of daily pictures recently. I was not feeling well, and ended up going to Ulaanbaatar to meet with my Peace Corps doctor and get some tests, and now I have come to Thailand, which is the regional medical hub for Peace Corps in Asia. It seems that I should have no problem returning to Mongolia and finishing out my service this summer, which is good news! In the meantime, I have some unexpected time to spend in Thailand--somehow I think I will be able to keep myself busy here!
Here are some pictures from the last few weeks--since its been so cold in Mongolia and I haven't been feeling up to it, I don't have a picture for every day. But hopefully I can make up for it with lots of pictures in Bangkok! More updates to come soon.

The best selfie I have with a poncho I recently made. I couldn't seem to get in focus and keep my eyes open in time for the timer to go off!
Myrtle is always ready to go for a walk or play with the puppies that live in our courtyard. She lets me know by standing by my apartment door and looking pitiful.
I miss these ladies! They are holding down the fort in Chinggis City. Also, Myrtle is convinced that she is a lap dog--everyone else is less convinced.
The frozen Kherlen River, just outside of town. You can see people playing volleyball on the river in the distance.

While I was in UB, I got new glasses!
View from the Hong Kong airport. I didn't have the time to check out the city, but I hope I can come back in the future!

Made it to Bangkok!
Traffic wasn't terrible, but I am planning on staying an avid pedestrian.
My mission in Bangkok: get better, and drink as much iced tea and coffee as I can! Many food pictures to follow.

Day 15 to Day 27: My Life Through Photos
Day 15: I was enjoying a quiet evening in my apartment, keeping my feet nice and warm with wool socks and my amazing space heater. Little did I know that....
Day 16: My power went out. In fact, it was out for six days, for various reasons! I ate a lot of bread, and spent my nights reading with a flashlight, so basically, I was living the dream of my nine-year-old self.
Day 17: Gooey goodness of an egg and cheese sandwich! Maybe I am too old to admit this, but I just learned how to fry eggs this winter. The results are very tasty!
Day 18: Myrtle's ear got stuck up and we were both confused. Of course it was time for a photo shoot.
Day 19: I didn't take any other pictures this day, except this one to check how my eyeliner looked.
Day 20: After finding a particularly good bone, Myrtle forgot that I existed for the rest of the day.
Day 21: Eating some fudge that my mom makes every year. Its so nice to have a taste of home!
Day 22: When my power came back on, I was most excited to have tea and coffee again!
Day 23-25: These are actually all from the same day. I got a little behind when my power was out. I never seem to have my camera on me when the cows come to eat the garbage, but I was in luck this day! Now this is what I call free range.
Day 23-25: This baby cow was super cute. Baby cow couldn't decide if Myrtle was a friend or not.
Day 23-25: a herd of cows moving past my apartment complex.
Day 26: A cold afternoon. Sometimes it feels like the air is so cold that it freezes to mist. I have no idea if this is actually what's happening, but bright sunny days always seem warmer.
Day 27: The view from my office. Blue sky and the city.

Day 11: A half-finished building in my neighborhood.
Day 12: a ger-shaped shrine near my apartment.
Day 13: Myrtle and her new friends. I hope their mother doesn't bite me one of these days!
