Cameling!

We just got back from the Silk Road!  Click and enjoy!

I believe I caught this guy passing gas.  I could be mistaken.

I think these camels know way more about things than they're letting on--as evidenced by the smug look on this guy.  I love his floppy over hump thing.

"You're on to me, Mad.  I DO know more than I'm letting on.  I'm currently contemplating Nietsche.  Last week I wiled away the hours ruminating on some proofs that were the subject of debate at the camel barn."

"Thank you for noticing."

Picture this--500 camels, nearly 4 times that many visitors, endless sand dunes...

We opted out of the orange sand boots--call us devil-may-care...

At the handler's command each camel fell to their haunches to permit boarding.

At another command they rose speedily (hastily, quickly, abruptly, WITHOUT ANY FREAKING WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!),

and

we

were off!!

Paco is cameleer #2 here in the baseball cap.  Note his perfect cameling posture!!

Good old #141!  Blondes DO have more fun!  I just had one question (which I hesitated to ask)--how do they keep the libidos of 500 camels in check?????  I saw no horsing around.  Come on...
