Camels!

I had really expected to see Camels running rampant all over the place. They are one of the staples of the middle east, kind of like Walmart and McDonalds used to be in America. As it turns out camels are elusive little suckers, I had driven hundreds, maybe even thousands of miles here in Kuwait and had yet to see even one camel.

Until now!

The other day on my way back from the airfield I came across a camel herder with a pack of camels (or maybe a herd of camels, what the hell do you call a group of camels?) Anyway, he was cool and hearded them over to the car where they tried to eat our camera. Turns out camels find us as fascinating as we find them.

This is pretty much just a picture digest of the camels we saw. Nothing fancy. Hope you enjoy, they are some pretty silly creatures.

P.S. wikipedia says a group of camels is called a caravan. who knew?
