Mongolia

It's not very often in life, that you realize, as you are doing something, that you are creating a memory that will stand for the rest of your life.

It's only in hindsight, that you look back and say to yourself... "that was a moment that changed my life"

Mongolia creates memories like this in real time.

It's breathtakingly beautiful in an epic way.

We drove across expanses of desert that stretched as far as the eye could see, for hours and hours and hours.

We drove on roads that had washboard, a foot and a half apart, for 2 days.

We saw sunsets that took our breath away.

We drove through herds of wild camels.

We saw eagles by the hundreds.

We woke up to herdsman and sheep and goats...

We came off the bikes in the sand.

In short, it was glorious, hard, awesome, frustrating, scary, and we can hardly wait to go back and do it again.
