day 6 in Gobi

So today is a driving day. A long driving day. I think it is flatter than the prairies. We did stop and see a huge monastary. Actually it was ruins. The Russians at it again with the destruction. It is slowly being rebuilt. We run into the americans again. We seem to see them every now and again. they pissed me off the first moment I met them and I made a comment. I know how unlike me. so now I have a reputation. Sorry to all my fellow Canadians. These Americans probably think less of us now. They were rude to me and kinda disregarded me when I was looking to talk to an older gentleman. There was an writer who wanted to interview him first before I got to him. so I made a comment on how we were the polite country. Yeh still paying for it. So we saw them again at the monastary and they asked if I would take a group photo for them. Of course being the polite Canadian I said "of course". One girl actually said within earshot. " you mean she actually said yes?" sigh.... I took many pics of them. And good ones too.

Other than the monastary it was 10 hours of bumps and napping,. We did manage to find a beautiful spot to set up our tents and camp. We have another long day tomorrow.
