Ellen is right at the Russian/inner Mongolian border right now. She’s been there for 2 nights already due to a bout with food poisoning. She ate some bad cold noodles for lunch yesterday and is only now starting to feel better. So she’s going to stay one more night and is going to leave in the morning.
The Inner Mongolian town where is is (I forget the name, sorry) is where Russians come to buy products to sell in Russia. So, if you aren’t Han looking, then you’ll get greeted in Russian, which has happened to Ellen numerous times. There are a tremendous amount of bugs up there and she says that the sun is humongous at that latitude. Yesterday she told me she saw the most beautiful sunset of her life. After sunset, there’s still light for an hour, due to the sun still radiating. Oh yeah, Ellen passed the 4,000 km mark a few days ago. Go Ellen!
I can’t believe she has ridden so far already. She’s told me some of her struggles but also about some fantastic sites and unusual sitings. What a fantastic voyage. Go Girl!!! Love you

It’s so amazing that she is having this increadible adventure. I can’t bike around a foreign country or hike the appalatian trail here at home, but I find oppurtunities everyday to have an adventure of my very own. And when my kids are all grown up, I’ll be out there again
