Leaving Tomorrow
So I’m leaving tomorrow. For Mongolia.
We had a nice tea this afternoon with my mongolian tutor Jama, her youngest daughter, and her mother, who will actually be back in Mongolia in October and promised to take me to the black markets…
I spent the whole day frantically packing, and I’m pretty sure I have everything–at least everything critical. The rest I can buy there if I have to. I have one big 75L pack, and one biggish duffel-bag, neither of which are full, so I’ll even have some room to bring stuff home.
Craziness!

Wow, Alex, what an adventure awaits you! I’m delighted that you will blog the journey–I plan to have my first-year seminar follow you as you go (we’ll add you to our RSS feeds), learning from your efforts to articulate what you make of the world you are about to enter.
Can’t wait to follow along.
Bon Voyage!
