Siberian Trip Pt. 4
Hi Friends!
The next set of pictures are of when we went to the river to have a barbecue. We planned on having a nice, relaxing afternoon at the river but I ended up seeing what a party usually looks like in this area. Some policemen arrived to celebrate a promotion and that involved the slaughtering of a sheep, they ended up eating the whole sheep, I mean everything! I will spare you the more gory pictures, lets just say it was a very interesting afternoon!
Hudson likes to drive from time to time
Getting ready...
This was our barbecue, delicious!
They boiled the sheep in a big pot, look at all that yummy stuff! =/
This was my bowl of assorted sheep parts. Not so delicious =(
The van broke down as we were about to leave...
It was an interesting day! More to come later…

Hi Friends!
Here are some more pictures of my time out west.
A Shamanistic holy place
The great shepherd who overlooks the plain. Sheep are a big part of their culture.
My friends took me to “Beaver Springs” where the water is supposed to cure all kinds of ailments incluing infertility. I drank from them all just to be safe. =)

It tasted like water!
Ancient Stones
Another Shamanistic holy place.
More to come!
