Mongolian Journey - Camels and a Lot of Sand
The Gobi desert isn't very inviting to most living things, but camels have thrived for centuries.
They can survive a week without water and a month without food, making them the animal of choice for transporting goods and people, including Alexandra and me.
Yes, it's touristy. So what.
Afterward, we checked out the Khongor sand dunes, which stretch more than 100 miles.
It's one of the most exotic and inhospitable places I've ever seen.
Things cool down tomorrow as we head toward the last stop on our Gobi tour, visiting the majestic canyons of Yolyn Am.
