Al Ain Part III the final installment and funniest!

So how did Jett end up on this camel?
One of the main goals of this day trip to Al Ain was to see camels, the boys have been wondering where all of the camels are that we had told them about before we came. On our mission to find the camel souk our (not 4 wheel drive) rental got stuck in the sand. Luckily we found some locals (that spoke no English) to pull us out, they then took us to see their camels. Much to my surprize they grabbed Jett and stuck him on top of one (if you could see me at this point, you would see utter fear). Just as the camel started to walk our friends pulled Jett off (all in one piece). Jett, of course, didn't mind the ride and Jake stood back saying "there's no way you are getting me up there!!" Jett, what an adventurer...he is actually smiling...


Our heros..with no one around and a major language barrier they pulled us out of the sand, who knows what they are saying about me at this point..Mike and I guessed something like "this crazy American women!"
Ahhhhhh, the road home was nice and we stayed clear of sand and camels!!
