This is the start of the fun day I had today at the camel race track. It was just a practice day for them. The regualar season is through November to March. But they practice all year just at different times of the day. When it gets hotter they will practice earlier in the morning. I got the biggest kick out of the camels and the jockeys. It fun to see the interaction of everyone there and how they worked the camels. It was amazing when you think of these jockeys, this is their income to support families at home in other countries of the world. They probably don't make more than a couple hundred dirhams a month. To them that means there families in their homeland will be fed and taken care of for another month. They are very friendly and very happy to show off for us when white women come out to take pictures. They love to interact with you and learn a few words in english and work their hardest to get your phone number. Most are just a bunch of kids.
