On our first day in Mongolia, we saw steh many amazing mountains that I didn’t know

what to photograph first. We came for the Eagle Festival. Later, our guide gave a talk about
eagles and life in Mongolia. We learned that because Western influences, many young people

in Mongolia move to the cities. Despite this, traditional life in Mongolia is threatened.
We saw Kazakhs training their eagles. They do so a good job that the eagles will hunt

for them. We spent time on horseback with the Kazakhs. In fact, we spent such time on the

horses that I was in a lot of pain later. After the Eagle Festival, we visited with a Kazakh
family. Despite of the fact that I was very tired, I was very interested in learning about their

lives. However, I stayed up very late talking to them.
We have been such busy that I have hardly had time to think about home, though I do

miss my family. Therefore, I’m having a wonderful time.
