We arrive back in R town, and stay at White House. We left camp at 11 and found our beds again at 4. We had an unexpected lunch break. About an hour out of R town we rode up to a log cabin. Two teenage girls came out and spoke to E and B. I thought they wanted to hitch a ride into town, but no. Instead, a moment later, we are inside the cabin and I am helping myself to cup after cup of tarag, the local yoghurt.
Female names often have meanings. Solongo means rainbow. And this Solongo, 16, saw us coming and wanted to practice her English. She is a high school student in Moron. After an hour of pleasantries and email exchanges, we set out. A van is pulling up. Solongo says it is her dad. And we know him - from back at the miners mess camp. We will see him again at White House.
