2023 Jul 09 | Mongolia, day 18 - cemetery, family photo at Sukhbaatar Square



A view of part of the city from up on a hill.



So many houses.



Anything children related is always so colorful.



If you need a ride, you just stand by the side of the road with your arm out.



Many private people will pick you up for a pretty standard rate per distance; you don't have to wait for a normal cab.



Many people had a Mongolian flag and camping gear.



Selling tents.



A huge Mercedes Atego truck this couple was traveling in.



Always good to have spare tires.



Maybe flags of countries they've visited?



Fun picture on the side of the truck.

There was a stage with many people.



For the traditional clothing festival.

And headdresses.



Even more.

We were getting the entire family together for a picture.



While we waited for everyone to arrive, the kids rode around on a bike.
