Camel

I remember the day Leigh and I went riding on a camel in Egypt. A pretty standard tourist activity in Giza – because you have not experienced the REAL EGYPT until you have had your picture taken on a camel next to the pyramids. So we saddled up some camels and went on a short jaunt out to the prime picture location. A man generously offered to take our photo, but he decided that we needed to look more excited, so he kept yelling at us to raise up our arms up in jubilation. The resulting photo makes us look confused and not really that pleased to be sitting on camels in the middle of the desert.

I will spare you the tourist photo and humbly offer this picture of a sassy looking camel. All camels are sassy – not unlike myself.
