It's Fall Break and I'm off for a week with more exploring of UB. I tried for the third time to get a video of the Changing of the Guard at Chinggis Khan Square (formally Sukhbaatar Square which I had just learned to pronounce), but alas it's not working! I think I take better photos than videos so please enjoy what I've captured. To witness this in person with the guards moving to the music you sense that the statue of Chinggis Khan could awaken at any time and once again march through the Mongolian steppes and beyond. *Note: I may try for a fourth time!

I topped the day off with an afternoon tea at the new elegant Shangri La Hotel enjoying the soothing music of this quartet.
