The North FAce Tundra -20 F

I finally got my sleeping bag!!

Also, I started reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle.
I highly recommend this book, although I may feel differently once I finish it. So far I have learned that the average item of food on an Americans' table has traveled 1500 miles to get there. That's crazy.
I have been a bit concerned about the lack of readily available vegetables where I may be in Mongolia, but my concerns have been a bit appeased: a fellow teacher at the school my mom teaches at told her about some of her friends who are missionaries in Mongolia right now. Their job in MOngolia?? Converting??? Nope. Teaching Mongolians how to grow their own vegetables and how to manufacture gigantic jars of Jif Extra Crunchy peanut butter.
I have to get back to packing and watching the last two episodes of the wire. (I also recommend, highly.)
