Camel Crazed

The pushkar camel fair!!!!!!!!!!!!


it is truly magical! i can’t believe we got to have this amazing opportunty!
For three nights we had the whole Pushkar Fort Hotel to ourselves!
we got to run around it late at night, ducking and hidding from the guards!
we had our own gypsy dancing every night!
gypsy dancing is soo cool! every show was different because they make it up on the spot!
one member could “breath and touch fire”!
at the end of every performance they invited us to come up and dance with them!
it was a extreme blast!!!


And thats only the hotel!

The Fair itself is like something from Starwars!
In the early morning or late afternoon, everything is busy!
the camels were bellowing, people are cooking, there is a glow and a mist over the whole land!
people come from miles and miles away just to bring their animals here!
every day the fair gets louder and more crowded!
But by the end of the fair, there are more tourists then animals!

now I know how starwars was created i mean look and hear the similaritys!
a camel

and an animal from starwars

when you ride a camel it is so much harder than it looks!
every moment you feel like you are about to fall off!
when a camel runs…. its scary!
we were so high up and we were leaping up into the air!
the only thing holding us on was a little pole and our feet straps!
by the end of the camel ride, all of our backs and stomachs were extremly sore!
well we got to ride camels in the desert and horses in the fair!
i prefer the horses because they are easier hang on to!

c-ya!

  5. Awesome pictures! I’ve really enjoyed reading about your adventures. Makes my day seem rather dull… like I couldn’t say, “Hey, guess what? I rode a camel today.” or “Hey, guess what? I saw the Taj Mahal today.” It’s more like, “Hey, guess what? My eyes are crossed from grading so much work. Oh I know! I’ll procrastinate and play with magnets and motors.” Aw yes. The science teacher geek. Well, I miss you all. I put a link from my blog to yours so hopefully more kids will check yours out. Take care. Love, Tiff
    PS. Did you know that they used a camel’s rumbling growl to create Chewbacca’s voice in the Star Wars movies?
