Party recap
I unfortunately forgot my camera, so the memory shall remain with those attending - except for the nifty presentations! Manuel’s had Wisconsin-brewed beer that we had while on our road trip that I think is pretty uncommon to have on tap in other places. Tom presented facts as how they related to New Zealand; for example, the capitals of New Zealand and Mongolia have the same number of letters in their name, and the armed forces’ size of both countries are within 10 of each other. Bonnie presented on traditional religious dances which disappeared during communist rule and were re-inaugurated only in 2002. Rob and Susan presented a field guide (subset, but still) of animals in Mongolia, most of which were cute - like the long-eared hedgehog, which I am now supposed to import eventually. Julie “forgot” to bring anything, and Gigi, Judy, and Manood didn’t even bother mentioning anything 
Good times by all, and it’ll be hard to be away…
