All is well in Mongolia
Not much time to post right now, but I will tomorrow. We just got back from 12 days roughing it in the middle of nowhere. I don't think I've ever felt more remote. The trip has been unbelievable though, incredible sights and a great group of fellow travelers. They even threw me a birthday party yesterday, complete with cake and plenty of alcohol.
And just so everyone knows, I will tell you I apologize now to the people of Mongolia. I really did not intend for a state of emergency to be declared. The good news is, we didn't know anything about it until a couple of days ago. Apparently it was something to do with the elections and they only instituted a curfew and halted alcohol sales in Ulaanbaatar. We had plenty of beverage options in the backwoods.
I hope everyone is well and those that attended my Atlanta birthda party had a great time, thanks for throwing it and taking my picture around. I'll write more after we attend the opening ceremony to the Nadaam Festival. Should be a blast.

After 11 days of hearing nothing this is all we get. Pathetic.
Bring back the Todd of his 20s.

"...12 days roughing it in the middle of nowhere. I don't think I've ever felt more remote." DUH! You're in Mongolia. Did you think you were going to New York City? Happy birthday, old man.
