Lake Huvsgal, Mongolia - a beautiful spot on the earth!

We took a trip to Lake Huvsgal which is about 350 miles north of Ulaanbataar.  Our American friend, Tom Keller, moved up to this spot to work as a volunteer dentist and to link up with a mission group in Hatgal.  We spent a week with Tom and felt we were transported to paradise so to speak!  Please take a look at our trip through pictures!

This truly was the color of the water!

So gorgeous







The stillness and the quietness of the place was wonderful

Can't get enough of the pastoral scenes

Tom and Richard went for a hike and this little fellow came up for a hug!

The sky was amazing



He said, "You got a problem?"

  2. I've had poor internet access at Ray's dad's in FL. Just got to MI last Thursday. Now I see what I'm missing. It looks very breathtaking! Mary Lynn DeVito
