So we made it to Mongolia!!! And actually we are watching wrestling and horse races at this very moment ( they are being televised as it is Mongolian Independence Day!!!) and we are sitting in the airport waiting for the teams missing luggage to appear. :-) So our flight from Denver to San Francisco was a running about an hour late... Leaving our time in San Fransico a blur!!! We got to Beijing and three of us had to go get our luggage cause our check in lady did not check it all the way thru. At first I was annoyed by the hassle. And one of the bags got lost.... We had to catch a train and then took two shuttles ( we took a wrong turn) all to end up at the same terminal we jet left. All the time Ani and I are lygging our heavy bags... and then we had to wait till morning to re- check in. I was really wishing our lady had checked them all the way thru like the rest of the team! Actually it turned out pretty cool... We had time to kill and spent maybe an hour running from airport to airport. So we saw Bejing even though technically we did not need to. Cause after an hour of travel we arrived at the correct airport only to discover.... Hey wait we just left here!!! So we spent the night sleeping in the floor of the airport!!! It was kind of We also played several hands of Dutch Blitz and Phase 10 drawing several crowds of Chinese men. We must of been quite entertaining. However we arrived in Ullaanbaatar safe and sound.. And discovered only Ani and I have luggage. So Im thanking God for the hassle of dragging it thru Beijing last night!!! We are hanging at the airport a few hours more to await a later flight that just might have our luggage!!! With or without it... We have a driver hired and head 4 hours north to our new home in Zuunkhara! We have to come back in a few days for Maddis visa anyway!!! So if the bags are not in tonight we will be back early next week.
