We made the best of it.

Last night we headed out into the desert again, about 25 minutes from our compound.  Our quest, to see the shooting stars.  Apparently, the meteor showers were supposed to begin around 9pm.  There was not a meteor to be seen.

On our journey to a dark area of the desert, we saw a Jerboa Kangaroo Rat.  That was pretty cool.

We also spotted a bag that seemed to be leaking.  Turns out that it was a rather smelly lamb in a bag.  Nice.

And some dude wandered out of an area with three old school buses and a bunch of shacks.  It was a camel farm and he was the caretaker.  Not a lick of English and what a wonderful smell!

Anyway, the kids had fun, pecked out their indifferences and my buddy Wayne and I got a chance to mess around with some night photography.  The kids helped with the shots too.
