The baby's crib..
Lovely woven blankets and tapesteries..
The roof in summer.
We had the opportunity to view a real yurt, one that is actually lived in and not a show piece. It is very interesting and comfortable. The Kazakhs being nomadic lives in yurts as do the Mongolians, those who are still nomadic. A lot of Mongolians have decided to live in concrete buildings in the capital of Mongolia, Ulan Battor. The outside is lined by sheep's skin and is waterproof and is also able to withstand the snow. The fire is lit inside the yurt and there is always an opening in the roof. It was fun to view a real live in yurt up close.
