Dinner and a Show

Being hit by the front loading wall of wind

What a spectacular thunder and lightning storm we just witnessed; a shock of wind from seemingly nowhere; multiple arcs of lightning interconnected and entwined; smacks of thunder that rumble imagined grievances. The only hint of what was to come was manifested in a mass of dark confusion boiling to the West as the storm came slinking into the city with short warning before wind, rain, and thunder and lightning hit.

Mongolia is certainly know for it's wild weather fluctuations and this time of year is no different. Summer is the wet season in UB and the past couple of weeks have not disappointed. We've gone from pelting, cold rain to lazy days of endlessly blue skies and sunshine. I love bearing witness to the wrath of nature (or Khan for those Star Trek lovers out there) but I am thankful that we were in our warm, safe apartment eating a hot meal while enjoying the show.
