A Camel event



Camels! We saw a lot of camels on this Dogon country trip. We counted nearly 20 during it.



This video comes from Isaaca's family's courtyard. Isaaca is one of our believers here in Kadiolo. He was excited about us going to the conference in Dogon land because he could show us some of the sights there, and see his family.



We got to their courtyard, and didn't have much time. But they served us a very nice lunch, and then invited Caleb to ride their camel. As you can see in the video clip, the camel did not want to submit to crouching down, and protested very loudly!Understandably, Caleb didn't want to get on him after seeing this camel screaming, and acting up.



So we compromised. We all got in front of it for a picture!We did convince one of the village kids to get on the camel, and the camel did buck a bit! So maybe its a good thing Caleb didn't try to get on. Need I say that neither Ben, Lisa, Emily nor I were interested in getting on?

Unfortunately I couldn't make the video clip work. Sorry.

Thanks for stopping by,

Tom & Lisa
