Staying with a Mongolian family

This was the grandfather of a family me and Trine stayed with overnight in a tradional gur. We were 60km east of Ulaan-Bataar in a valley of pine forests. They made us feel genuinely welcome and fed us so well that i had to roll out of their house! We endeared ourselves to them by sharing our beers around! They were poor by material standards but rich in the happiness that they have in their lives.
