Fuerteventura Oasis Park
One day during our stay in the Canary Islands we decided to check out the Fuerteventura Oasis Park. It's a huge park that contains a zoo and a beautiful botanical garden.

But the primary reason we went to the Oasis Park was for the Camel Safaris. I don't think I've ever seen a camel in person, especially up close. I was pretty excited about the whole thing. I was pretty impressed with how they sat, with their legs all bent up funny underneath them. (See the second camel pic below.)

I was caught off-guard by the height of the camels. They were really tall! I don't know what I was expecting - I guess maybe that they'd just be like an odd shaped horses or something. I was also surprised to discover that they don't have hooves like horses either - they are these soft padded ...things... I don't even know what to call them. But they were pretty cool. My brother had told me that camels are nasty and they spit. These camels didn't spit at all but they were pretty gassy and that was gross since Mr X and I were the last people in the line of camels. All in all we had a great time on the camel safari. Here's a few pictures:
