Chinggis vodka

In the West we know him as Ghangis Khan, but Mongolians call him Chinggis Khan, the man whose empire stretched across Asia & Europe, many centuries ago. While the supermarket had a staggering variety of vodka to choose from, I wasn't offered or drank any while in Mongolia. Bob has seen it being used in ceremonies & has also drunk it.
And something a little more familiar! Francie, I'm not sure what the temperament of these camels is, but they are shorn for their camel wool, which is used for blankets & clothing. Ginny, more Mongolian photos to come for a week or two yet.
