A Return Visit to Mongolia After Six Years

On Friday, July 7 I left LAX and arrived Sunday, July 9 at the new airport in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia after an absence of six years. Fifteen hour flight, fifteen hour time difference. I was met by my driver, Dawa and my teacher, Boogii and her children, Khuchit and Angela.  Smiles everywhere. Over the next almost four weeks I stayed with both my teachers, Muugii and Boogii and their wonderful families. I also spent some time in my favorite desert, the Gobi.  With so much to share, it's better to show the photos. As I journeyed through Mongolia, I posted many pictures on Facebook so some of these are repeats, and some are new. Please enjoy:)

 Here’s a quote from Memoir:

A Mongolian Memoir about one woman’s unusual adventure living and teaching for five years in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia—a moving story about changes and how they brought her to a place, inward and outward, that she never expected.
Diane Height says, “I knew I was embarking on something I had kept hidden for years. A part of me I had denied, or was afraid to talk about, or even think about. Living in Mongolia for five years changed everything—how I saw myself . . . there and when I came home.”

 

My Mongolian Memoir and the Pacific Ocean

Happy Fall to all!

As many of you know I've been working very hard on my Mongolian Memoir!  WELL, now I'm getting ready to publish!!!  Yeah! team!  I will let you know when that happens and if interested, how to obtain it.

In the meantime, I try to take the time to smell the roses and enjoy whale watching with my friends.  We went out into the ocean from Dana Point Harbor.  Even though we didn't see whales, we saw thousands of dolphins!  It was pretty amazing.  They are beautiful creatures gliding through the blue water as though they have no cares in the world!
