18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Washing the Dishes

We visited a folk Ger Camp to learn about Mongolian nomads. They treated us to milk, vodka, and pastries they made. We learned games and watched the nomads make rope, and lead the livestock on a pretend move. This woman helped with the program. She has a very nice smile and was very happy to welcome us photographers.
