Oliver Lee

Friday we left with Boloraa's parents Ganbold and Damaa in the RV. As soon as I got in NM I let Ganbold drive. I think he loved it. He is very helpful and intelligent. Catches on to everything immediately. I just had to point and he did it. I think he learned a lot about large RV's.
We went hiking up the Sacramento Mtns on Friday afternoon. Late Sat. He and Damaa went even further up, maybe 1000'. It is very rough, rocky and steep in places.
Sat. he and I rode the Venture to a farm and ranch store, Pistachio nut store, up to Cloudcroft and looked at the missiles at the Space museum. Gone 4 hours.
Helen and Mildred came up at noon but Milly has not felt good for a few days so they didn't stay long.
It got down into the high 20's at night. Had to run 2 heaters all night. RV's with all the windows have almost no insulation.
I brought out the telescope so they could see Jupiter, and Mars. Sat. evening we looked at the moon too.
Sunday we played badminton, talked more with our neighbors from Missouri. We left at 1:15 Sunday and came home about 3:45. No rush to get home, drove just 50 mph. Averaging 9.2 mpg. Oliver Lee State Park is just 85 miles one way.
Damaa and Ganbold are fun to be with. Too bad we can't converse more. One word sentences are hard to get a longer point/idea across. Finger pointing and gestures make up most of the conversation. Damaa wanted both Linda and Chuck to go back to their house so that we could take their car to our house, so Linda could pick up Boloraa at the airport, so Boloraa could drop off Linda at our house, so Boloraa could just go on home. It wasn't 15 seconds of English/Mongolian before we all had her idea.
