Be Kind to Animals week. However, I witnessed a hilarious scene with a camel. Just after I learned that camels don't like their heads touched, I noticed a richly dressed female tourist who was apparently determined to get her picture taken with a Real, Live Camel. The animal, tied to a post outside Jerusalem, was not enamored of the idea. As I watched, the effort turned into a wrestling match, with the tourist trying hard to keep an arm locked around the camel's neck and a rigid smile on her face, and the camel bobbing, weaving, snorting and trying to bite.
Camels spit, too.
