It’s your post! Actually I found it very touching. No one ever wrote me a love letter like that.
ReplyDeleteAwe, thank you. I was just kidding - I know, it's my post.
ReplyDeleteBe careful what you wish for - are you *sure* you'd want someone writing about your experience "streaking" an empty cathedral late at night? : )
BTW, someday, whenever husband and I have the time and money, we're going to try to visit Mongolia. Husband was more of a world traveler before we got married, and I think he misses it a lot. It would be nice to see you, too, of course.
Really enjoying your posts of late. You bring history alive.

You and your husband are welcome in Mongolia! I will reserve a corner of my hovel for you. Hope you don’t mind camel ticks!
ReplyDeleteCamel ticks are fine as long as they don't snore. : )
