We were invited to go out to the camel races.

The camels are fitted with remote controlled robotic jockeys, so the owners follow the camels in their SUVs on both sides of the race track. There are two tracks, 5 kilometers and 10 kilometers.

Thanksgiving

November 27, 2010

Posted by Kanga.

We gathered with a large group of our friends at one of the restaurants serving a special Thanksgiving meal, Billy Blues. We didn’t take an official head count, but by the end of the meal, it was somewhere in the 25-30 range. We spilled over into additional tables.

It was not the same as a home cooked meal, but the food was good and the company was GREAT. The restaurant staff were pretty amazing, handling such a big crowd well.
