What a fun afternoon we had today. Terri and I went to the camel races this afternoon and we found out more information. Each afternoon is the time when the Sheikh's camels race. Well did we ever score today. We are tight with the Camel Racing Association Director and we got an invitation to the Sheikhs tent to eat before the race. They brought out fresh everything for us and even caviar to eat. We had true Arab hospitality. It was just a kick. So the first winner above here has won a new 2009 Land Crusier+ 500,000 AED (140,000 USD) and I asked," did he win a trip too?" and Mr. Osama smiled and laughed. I said,"I'll bet he's going to Hawaii." Mr. Osama told us when we come on sunday he will show us how to VOTE on a SMS text on our phones on how which camel might win the race. he said we might win a prize. I love prizes ,I'm going back.
There were only about 10-15 camels in these races today. The camels were very well groomed and looked all decked out in all the finest gear.
There was a little more order with less camels at the start.
This guy doesn't want to trip.

You have to admit it is rather difficult to run in a dress.
