Sally the Camel had 2 humps

Monday the school took us CAMEL RIDING! We went to this place out on a mountain top in the middle of nowhere and met Domesec Eliezer. Who if you don't know... (because none of us did) is Abraham the Forefathers main servant [like seriously]. He was dressed in old tradditional garb and explained to us that in his time how and where they lived. Which is right on the spot where the place was built actually. We were challenged to use our superior jewish intellect and group effort to figure out how to make a tent out of a piece of cloth and some sticks. Which wasn't very complicated because there were wooden top piece things in the cloth wherever the sticks were supposed to go. Then we tied the tent down and moved on to the actual camel riding.
A lot of girls were screaming and freaking out. Someone even shreiked loud enough that she was going to die that the guy put her camel down and made her get off. I didn't really have an issue with the camel riding. My teacher commented that i rode like a queen... what she means is that I maintained my posture and didn't grip the saddle with every once of my strength :}
When the group was learning to herd stinky sheep, a bunch of us uninterested people were looking over the side of the mountain and taking pictures of how far it was until the valley in between. (Mind you, we weren't leaning directly over a cliff. There was plently of mountain sloping within walking distance that it was 100 percent safe.) The Eliezer dude told us that it was about 800 meters down. Not a ginormous mountain at all. One of the girls decided to get risky and see if it was climbable. Of course I followed. It turned out that the mountain side wan't as steep as it looked and in fact we only climbed about 40% of the way. The other 60% we basically walked. Not to say that it wasn't dangerous... but it probably wasn't too bad because the guide did know what we were doing and didn't exactly try to stop us. At the bottom we could see the tiny dots of the people above that we hadn't been able to see for most of the way down. Although we could hear them perfectly due to the awesome echo. Climbing back up prooved to be infinetely harder than climbing down and it took us almost double the time and a lot more caution. But we did it. The whole thing took us about 40 minutes tops. The camel riding had been an experience but it wasn't such a big deal for either of us. Climbing the mountain was a challenge that we both appreciated.
