I apologize


I hope I didn't offend anyone by the title of my post about riding camels. I only wanted to show how much fun it was to ride such a majestic beast. As an Arab-American and a member of BCS's Diversity Committee, I am certainly sensitive to language and its power.

The camel is decorated according to local custom. It's like how we decorate horses' bridles or weave ribbon in their mane or something like that.

I sure am having a blast!
