 Superb pictures of the Samburu women with their necklaces and ear rings! Great records from your exciting camel race! Too bad you did not run the third round!

 LOVED your story about the camel racing! I shan't be doing any racing myself, but I will think of you and your white camel as I stroll through the desert......
