Camel Market (David)

Went to a camel market this morning.  Yes, camel.   Outside of Cairo, about an hour, there is a place where hundreds of camels are bought and sold.  The camels are in groups by who owns them and are marked.   A leg is tied to keep them from escaping quickly, though they are still pretty fast on three legs.   There is a lot of yelling and hitting of the camels.  Not the cleanest place.  Definitely something different.  I kept wondering if it was like a cattle auction out west.  Hmmm.
