Greeting a camel...... One must always be respectful. A camel never forgets. Our guide is the St. Francis of the Arabian world. He is kind to camels and to us, his "children"

Ali, an expert in hieroglyphics is finding the bridge between the ancient people of Colorado who wrote in the same language as a historic Arabic group in Oman. A fascinating study.

Wherever you go in the world, there's always a discussion whether active

Or passive....
A mediating moment while the tourists take pictures of the same ol' thing that last week's tourists took pictures of. A bit of the new with the old - such as guard rails and Coleman coolers.

Finding the native fruit....

An offering of fruit to one of his ailing tourist "children".

A peaceful man with a kind heart and a gentle nature. A practicing example of a pure religion. One that serves with good and sincere intent.

There are no stray or "wild" camels. Their names are known. There are desert camels and mountain camels. There are milk camels, meat camels, packing camels and racing camels. There are no forgetful camels or insensitive camels. You must treat them kindly.

After a few days, we got used to seeing camels strolling around.

And then we met the "friendly camel" who loves people.He was an orphan brought up in a household with the children. They taught him all about Classic Coke

He downed 2 cans straight. I imagine it would become expensive if he had a craving to refill after a long desert trip.

This baby camel is less than 2 weeks old. Dang cute.
