On the way south, we went through some severe desert with nothing to see.
At the 101 kilometer marker we ran into a tacky rest stop.
In this store,
I bought this paperweight
The artistic effort made me want to experiment further
Then we took the obligatory phonebooth picture
and left.
The next day, we got up early and went to the aquarium
fully dressed
Our first stop was the yellow submarine
After the obligatory security check
we all climbed aboard
I discovered that you don't get very good pictures shooting through the portholes of
a ship tens of meters below the sea.

Once the ship came back up, we walked below sea level
to take these pictures

For a break, we came back and took a dip
in the hotel pool
before it was time to go for our camel rides
The camels looked tame enough
as we got ready to board
Then Suzanne waited for Golda (her camel) to rise
which she did
and so did Face for Jan
and Mona for Benjamin and I
As we rode on
we all became more comfortable. We got to the top of the mountain,
we stopped for a break
