Training

We arrived in Ulaanbaatar around 10 o'clock at night and were welcomed by a line of current Peace Corps volunteers.  (Now I know how football players feel!)  We took a bus to another town which is about 45 minutes away.  It is a pretty big town.  We are in dorms right now until Thursday.  I am with 3 other girls.  We had some meetings today and then a tour of the town.  It is a little run down but it is cute and the people are so nice.  For breakfast, we had mash potatoes (yay!), toast, buckwheat and sheep sausage.  I didn't eat much of the sausage.  For lunch, we also had sheep and rice.  We did go to a market today that has fruits and vegetables but they said it was nicer because it is so close to the capital.  I will be with my host family on Thursday and we start getting our shots on Wednesday.  We have 3 rounds but the people didn't know what were getting *we have to talk to the doctors.  Our group is really nice.  Everyone is really friendly and we all have traveled and have a lot of the same interests.  There are also a lot of jugglers. 

Here is a link to the pictures I have taken so far:  http://www2.snapfish.com/snapfish/thumbnailshare/AlbumID=2225482021/a=151443402_151443402/otsc=SHR/otsi=SALBlink/COBRAND_NAME=snapfish/
