AUG 31, 22 .. A FINAL RE-VISIT TO MONGOLIA .. THE 13TH CENTURY HISTORIC PARK

For the time being, this will wrap up the series of six posts as we have re-visited our time in Mongolia. It was 100% thanks to Gullible that I have published these August posts.

At the very bottom of this post you will find a link to a post dated JUL 22, 15 that has 129 photos. Some of general interest but with a focus on the THE 13TH CENTURY HISTORIC PARK located about 100km (62 miles) outside of the Mongolia Capital City of Ulaanbaatar.

When I arrived in Ulaanbaatar on Thursday, July the 16th, 2015, along with seven other members of the team I was a member of, we all were taken immediately on a two day trip to the THE 13TH CENTURY HISTORIC PARK. It was my very first introduction to Mongolian history and was very special.

Our Mongolian Host Par Excellence was Deegi. Seven years later, Deegi and her family remain close personal friends.

Here are a smattering of the photos you will see in the JUL 22, 15 post just in case you don't wish to look at the longer post the link at the bottom will send you to.

Here we go.

I am only going to show photos. IF you are interested in many more details, please use the link at the bottom of this post.

Mongolian Gers. The traditional home of the Mongolian nomadic herders.

Do you want remote? Below is a photo of the road we used to access the THE 13TH CENTURY HISTORIC PARK. You don't want to even think about having car trouble out here.

Yes indeed. There are real, traditional Gers right in the heart of downtown Ulaanbaatar being used.

AUG 26, 22 .. A RE-VISIT TO DOWNTOWN, ULAANBAATER, MONGOLIA

At the end of July, our good friend and Ally Gullible, again (as she had done several times previously) asked us to publish a post showing our (Patti, Gullible and myself) train ride from Sukbaatar, Mongolia, South to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, back in November of 2015. And we did just that.

Then, since we were (in a virtual manner) back visiting Mongolia, we decided to show some other photos of Mongolia.

This re-visit will show 159 photos of the downtown area of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

Because some (many?) of you won't want to look at 159 photos, we have posted a random sample of 45 photos showing what you would see if you looked at all 159 photos.

One cannot think of the central, downtown-heart of Ulaanbaatar, without thinking of the Blue Sky Hotel, a magnifient edifice that overlooks the entire downtown area.

By the way, we published several posts showing only photos of the Blue Sky Hotel.

A peek at the Blue Sky Hotel from afar.

Now we'll look at some of the other buildings in the central downtown area.

The downtown area is very attractive, with floral displays and murals on some of the buildings.

We did not want to start this post with a photo of one of Ulaanbaatar's excellent City Buses, however this important feature of Ulaabaatar is how we got around!

Now we will re-visit the enormous Chinggis Khaan / Sukbaatar Square, located directly across from the Blue Sky Hotel.

The pink building (as viewed looking East from the Square) in the next three photos is the Opera House. I have attended four operas here.

Oh My YES !! There are almost a never-ending series of weekend events held in Sukbaatar Square.

Now, IF (oh the BIG IF) you would like to see many more photos please click onto the below link and have a good look-see.

Thanks so very much for your support and for your interest in our international travels, pretty much past and not so many at present.
