Dianne Rides a Camel

It is to be a camel caravan. But before, camel riding lessons. The Berber dromedary handler demonstrates the proper hand, arm and shoulder positioning as well as proper balance for the raising and lowering of the beast. I pay close attention.
We all get a long ride out on the Saharan sand dunes where we stop for sunset pictures and give the dromedaries a rest. Dianne is riding Soloman, I’m on Earle. Earle is quite friendly with Soloman, wiping his nose on Soloman’s backside any time it starts to run. Dianne is a natural on a camel. Comes easier to her than skiing.
By the time we get back to the desert camp, it is dark. Everyone is safely dismounted from the dromedaries and a celebration begins. I guess we’re all just happy to be here in one piece.Meer informatie
