Uh oh... be careful up there Kent - Liwa UAE

This isn't the place to be practicing your "Funny walk"

Oh Oh ! - Liwa UAE

Close your mouth!

OH MY ! - Liwa UAE

Kent are you OK?

Moose? Horse? Camel ?...Camel. - UAE

If you were only looking at the face you might think you are conversing with an antlerless moose or maybe even a horse if you are really close. Then take a step back and you realize....

Up close and personal - UAE

I'm sure glad you are cute because the breath isn't so great

Kent and Camellia - UAE

she was very friendly-walked right over and said hello ... actually most of the camels in this passing herd slowed down to take a look and many stopped to come up and sniff.

The camels I have met so far have been very low key, easy going and curious. I'm looking forward to getting one as a pet soon, I'm just waiting for materials to build the litter box.

Kent - Kamel Kommunicator - UAE

Here we see Kent trying to impress our camel friends by busting some moves. Nice try Kent, I'm pretty sure I saw Michael Jackson do something very similar once. However, to Kents credit it seemed to work! Check out the pics above this one - they became very cooperative once they saw that Desert Dance.

Whoa Camel ! - UAE

Somewhere after the biggest Land Rover you will see this rather large herd of camels. ..Well, WE saw them you may not.

Biggest Land Rover-ever - United Arab Emirates

Well I don't know for sure if it's the 'biggerest' or not ... it is big though! You will find this little treasure on your way to Liwa....

Classic Car ( Mt. Abu Rajasthan India)

Anyone looking for a ride into nostalgia can do it here, these vehicles have been made the same from day one. You can buy the same make, model, etc. etc. except in a brand new version....sweet!

Kite Flying (Mt. Abu Rajasthan India)

The young boys are really into flying these very small kites. The kites remind me of some of the Chinese fighting kites that I have seen before.

Apparently, they get them battle ready by gluing crushed glass on strategic areas of the kite and string to bring down the opponent.

I saw these two lads on the roof top flying their kites on a sunny afternoon.

Traveling Music (Mt.Abu Rajasthan India)

In general terms.... India is chocker-block-full of very sweet gentle people awash in garbage, noise, dust, animals, amazing marble temples, more noise, stunning scenery, the sweetest little kids you ever laid eyes on, strange little temples in funny little nooks and crannies and soooooooo much more. Thats if you just step out on the street....now go for a walk and it gets really intense. Did I mention the noise everywhere ?

Wandering Monkeys (Mt. Abu Rajasthan India)

These monkeys sit on the road side waiting for snacks from people passing by and I'm not sure why their tails aren't flat.

This particular road is one that winds several kilometers up the mountain and is very narrow most of the way and extremely narrow in some other places. The monkeys have really long tails and I have often seen them hanging over into the road way. Why they don't have flattened tails is one of the mysteries we encountered here on the mountain.

Wandering Kid ( Mt. Abu Rajasthan India)

Lila WAS posing with this wandering goat/kid but when she saw the poster behind her decided to high tail it out of there before getting splashed with chocolate!
