We made it!

Well, the adventure is finally beginning. Kerri and I made it about 24 hours ago after roughly 30 hours of traveling. We only had one setback in China when we had to land at a different airport and sit there for an hour and a half before taking off for Beijing. We only suffered a couple of bloodshot eyes and two extremely swollen ankles (a.k.a cankles, video coming soon).

We made it here and met up with Sam at an Irish pub and brought our stuff back to his semi-clean apartment before heading out to meet his friends and party in Ulaanbataar. We also met up with Kangaroo Mouse (Nate Upham) who has been sampling pastries all over town.

For those of you who grew up playing (fighting over) Risk games as a kid, you might be interested in the fact that we are taking a train up to Irkutsk, Russia tomorrow and eventually visiting the oldest and deepest lake in the world, Lake Baikal. It is over a mile deep and holds roughly 20% of the worlds fresh water.

Now we are off to host a Tortillas and Vodka party as Sam's apartment with his three Mongolian roommates and international friends.
