Jaisalmer, Thar Desert - India

I don't know if you know this about me, but my favorite animal in the world is the camel. I don't care what type of camel, just all the camels... All the different types of camels. I had dreamed since my childhood of going on a journey through the desert on the back of a camel. In 2015, that sweet dream came true. It wasn't as fun for Mike because he was violently nauseous the entire trip out into the desert, and spewed his guts out once he got there. He smiled and pretended like he wasn't sick for the benefit of my joy.  And as for my friend Abrah (pictured looking grumpy lol), who was partially raised in Kuwait..... She sees camels as I would see a common deer in the woods of Oregon..... She found the whole experience to be quite a bore, and when it came to the rolling sand dunes of the Thar Desert on the border of Pakistan....she said..and I quote in a very nonchalant way "I've seen better". It's funny when you think about it, things that you would find to be the most epic experiences of your life ..someone else would find them very mediocre.  I love traveling with friends. No matter what you go through together.. you are bonded for life from your experiences..
