Tonight’s episode of the Amazing Race was filmed in Mongolia, and for any of you who watched it, you will have seen Ray giving directions to the “Beauty Queens” team of Dustin and Candice.
This was not his only TV appearance tonight, earlier this evening CTV aired a film about Mongolia and once again Ray was there, talking about the development of luxury hotels in Mongolia.

My holiday in Sweden is almost over, but it has been a very enjoyable 12 days seeing some of this beautiful country. Yesterday we went to Gamla Stan or Old Town, with its quaint cobbled streets and old buildings, mostly painted in warm yellows, oranges and reds.

Yesterday Chris pulled out some boxes of old photos, this one which is in need of some major restoration was taken many years ago before we moved to Africa.

This was taken in Trosa, a picture perfect little town a few hours drive south of Stockholm.
Once again my blog has been assigned a low priority, as Ray and I returned to Canada last weekend due to the death of a very dear family member. Ray is now on his way back to Mongolia and I am heading to Sweden tomorrow to visit my brother - a long planned trip which fortunetely I was able to rearrange and reschedule so that I still make it for his birthday on Sept 11th. I hope to be posting some pictures from my Scandinavian adventure soon.

I was thrilled to learn that I have won a 2nd Prize in an International Photo Contest with this picture, taken last summer in Central mongolia. It was an awesome sight to see this huge herd galloping freely across the steppe.
