A Quick Recap

Here is a quick recap of everything that has happened since we left Vladivostok:

• Car was wrecked in the middle of nowhere between Khabarovsk and Chita.
• Sold the car to a tow truck driver and crowded the four of us into the back of a police car with all of our stuff.
• Spent two hours in the station writing our statements, and left on a train at midnight for Chita
• Spent the next day on the train, arrived at two in the morning in Chita, relieved to find our friend Misha waiting for us.
• Spent the next two days searching for a new car, settled on a 1996 Lada Niva (Exciting Version).
• Left on the 18th of July for Ulan Ude, camped underneath the stars.
• Reached the Mongolian border on the 19th and entered without any problems and drove down to Ulaan Bataar staying at the Irish Pub Karaoke VIP Room Hotel. 
• Contacted Baagi who showed us pictures about making Eco Toilets and gave directions to the Tributary Fund's current location.

Everything in Mongolia is working out at the moment. The people are nice and willing to help. The food is good. There is kind of a relaxing feeling here compared to that slightly on edge feeling we all experienced during our time in Russia. We head out tomorrow to drive to Northwest Mongolia. The true test of the car will begin tomorrow and hopefully we will arrive back to civilization in the same car with even broader smiles on our faces.
Thanks for all the continued support of our trip, all of your comments motivate us to continue.
