Today we went to the Renn Fest where we drank beer, toured the wares, petted sheep and rode a camel. Jorma stayed with the little one and I rode the camel. Riding a camel is one of the things that was on my "To do before I die list", which was quite lengthy and has since been lost in one move or another.
I've always wanted to ride a camel because I've heard that they have a strange side to side gait and that it's harder to stay on. The gait is a large sway but it wasn't hard to stay on. It was kind of scary being up that high on an animal, but it was fun just the same and I wasn't worried about the camel bolting in it's little pen.
I feel sorry for the Camel just the same and hope that it lives a happy and placid life somewhere out in a field when it's not on the job. They must have made a fortune though, because it was 3 bucks a ride, and they rode people three at a time. And they had two camels. Maybe Jorma will let me get one. No honey, it's not a pet, it's an INVESTMENT!
