For those of you not watching football yet I will post a few photos from a trip my wife and I took in September to remote western Mongolia. We spent two weeks living with Kazakh eagle hunter nomads, either in tents or their Gers (same as Yurt). They are amazing people and it was so desolate yet beautiful region. We were also high into the Altai Mountains near the Russian border. No plumbing or toilets for 10 days! This trip is not for most people but I think the centuries old custom of capturing, training, and hunting with golden eagles will gradually be lost as each younger generation changes and leave the nomadic life style. The last 2 days we were at a wonderful "Eagle Festival" where there were many competitions.
I will post a few more another time...
