Camel Safari

It's 7:56am...do you know where I am?
We are waiting in between train rides, back in Jodhpur. Going to Agra...the site of the famous Taj.

We ended up doing a 2 day, one night, camel safari. It was pretty awesome to ride a camel, though i am more sore now than I was for the entire trek. I had the most unruly camel of the bunch, the pubescent teenager who loves to be rebellious. All of a sudden he would just take off trotting, and pick up speed real fast. On the first day, we were just going along, and my young buckaroo got pretty ahead. The camel drivers (who were awesome, corkey guys) started yelling "STOP! STOP!", so I pulled the reigns, but my dude freaked out. The saddle was falling loose, so I imagine not only was the camel nervous of them yelling, and me pulling, but also very uncomfortable with a loose load and person on his back. He basically bucked, and wiggled, me off. Down I went off the back of him. I was complemented on my nice and swift acrobatic skills though. As soon as I landed on the ground I somersaulted and rolled as far away from the teenage boy as possible...in a bunch of stickers (which was really the worst part).
Not a lot of people can say they have been bucked off of a camel in the desert.
I can.
Other than that episode, it was great. Unfortunately we didn't get too far into the middle of no where...kinda disappointing when you are on what is called a 'safari'. For 98% of the time you could spot wind generators. As unfortunate as that was though, it is pretty cool that there are wind generators on this side of the world (they power the electric fence that runs on the Indo-Pakistani boarder and local villages).
We slept on sand dunes. The sunset was incredible and seemed to stretch across the whole world. And the moon was FULL. She was shinning so bright, you could barely see many stars and you didn't need a flashlight to go pee in the middle of the night.

Must go to catch our train...we arrive in Agra 12 hours later. This is bound to be a fun ride.
