a few pictures

Hi!
I generally think it is better that I stay off the blog, otherwise it becomes a long list of reasons that Mongolia was better in the "good old days". I just sound old and everyone is bored. I do, however, have a few pictures to contribute....



First: The last time that we saw Amber. This picture is good proof of who she is with. her driver is the man in the hat sitting in the background. Amber is in the red shirt, Taylor in green and Alli in the black t-shirt. The truck? that's what we sent amber off in. Dont worry too much, she got to ride in the cab while all of the Mongolian students crammed in the back.








Second: Group tour of Erdenet mine. You can see the open pit in the background. The students are clustered around a rock with a high copper content.










Third: Alli and Munkhtegsh (a wonderful lady from the foreign studies office at the National University) display 2 of the 4 varieties of choco-pies.






A breif note: PLEASE DO NOT panic if your favorite pitt student is not in these pictures! They were taken over the last weekend while 4 of our class members were on thier own research trips.
