Of all the months we spent in country, seeing camels never happened until the very end of our tour. We payed the locals in food and school supplies in exchange for messing around with them. The camels didn’t mind us until we took turns riding. Boy did they vocally object. Here are two videos of our adventure. You can also see pictures from the event here. There’s about 27 in total.

Everyone takes turn getting on top of the camel. Each time the camel gets madder and madder.
