...tiny stuff camel I'd brought back as a gift for Meredith for being so cool and understanding about me taking a trip to Egypt by myself for two weeks out of the blue! Thanks, for being such an awesome girlfriend, Mer!
I was dead-right in my assumption, and a couple of moments after introducing myself, the man in the plaid shirt took me to a private camel-tour business run by an in-law of his. I got hooked up with a great deal and less than an later I found myself on the back of a camel (named Banana! Awwww!) riding through the desert right next to the huge fence the Egyptian government puts up.
Two hours of slow and steady climbing (around 5am) it was beginning to get light out and we were nearing the top. I stopped and took a moment to rest and catch my breath next to this handsome camel.
Mohamed kept laughing at my fascination with the camels! But I had never really spent time around them and was really interested in how alien they were to me!
The restaurant I was eating in had a balcony that overlooked the street and while I was sitting there eating my kofta, a bunch of dudes rode by on camels!
