This book is a joy to read with Vanessa for Bedtime-Booktime, even if it is a challenge to read a heavily-illustrated title over Facetime. We agree that we would love to visit Mongolia, though I would have to work my way up to trying salty horse milk tea beforehand so as not to be rude to anyone!

We have made it Moscow on our journey with the author. I love imagining what it would be like to savor black currant ice cream at GUM. Someday, someday, I know peace will prevail. It must.

I love food descriptions, I love evaluation scales. I love dining cars on trains!

I entered the wrong percentage yesterday. Last night, we began read about Irkutsk, a place I have dreamed of as long as I can remember. Lake Baikal!
When my dad and I moved to Ukraine for his Fulbright, he told me that the other option he strongly considered was Irkutsk. Kharkiv, Ukraine is the city of my soul; what would my life be had we gone to Irkutsk instead?

The narrator and her partner are staying in a ger in Mongolia. We discussed what it would be like to have someone come stay with us as a home stay. Vanessa notes we have no mutton dumplings!
