 Last night after arriving home from the countryside we were informed that the dentists wanted to take us out to dinner.  We were stuffed from our late lunch but agreed to go  They chose an Irish pub and restaurant that only served Mongolian food.  Clyde and I had a salad and a smoothie.  We talked shop with the dentists.  Tim was there to interpret.  They were fun ladies.  All married with children.  The chief dentist is sitting next to me and has a private practice as well as working in the hospital clinic.  after dinner they gave us a gift of a nice leather wallet and key chain.  Then we went to the chief's private office.  It was small but very nice.  We talked about how we could get more supplies for them.  It was a very productive meeting.

This morning Tim called and said the Mayor has invited us to lunch.  He had Chinese friends come into town and he wanted them to meet us.  We had already accepted an invitation for lunch with some friends of Elder/Sister Maynes.  Someone they had worked with on some water projects.  So  we called them and were able to postpone our lunch with them until this evening.  Then the Chinese said they wanted to cook some authentic Chinese food for us tonight at 10pm.  So Maybe we'll be very full before bed.
 So lunch at the Mayors hotel and restaraunt was, you guessed it, goat.  It was a real spread.  The picture above is the Chinese guest carving the goat.  Below is my portion.  After eating so much I was about to burst they brought the goat skin and fat for dessert.  I'm afraid some of that ended up in my napkin.  But we made some new friends and they were impressed with Quinny's greeting in Chinese.

       The Mayor, Clyde and me, and the mayors Chinese friends, and as they said, now our friends.
