How are you celebrating (or not) the new year? My husband and I are going to watch Mongol. I’ve recently developed a fascination with Genghis Khan. #Movie #Mongolia #genghiskhan

@fernweh Three years ago when my wife and I were newly together as a couple, we started a tradition of going up to Marin County (usually the Point Reyes area) for the New Year. Last year we got married on New Year's Eve up at the Straus Home Ranch in Marshall, so now our annual tradition has become our anniversary.

This year we're staying in an Airbnb in Petaluma that used to be a glass-blowing art studio back in the late 60's early 70's.

@fernweh Thanks! Oh, and this will be our last trip where it's just the two of us since our little girl arrives in March. 😃

@fernweh Do you know Con Iggulden's "The Conqueror" series? I highly recommend it. It's four thick novels about Genghis and Kublai. Quite accurate historically, and at the end of every book the author explains what changes he made.
