More Car Show Pictures... And A Question

Why (or how) is it that Kuwait can attract such a fine gathering of automobiles from around the world, but  they don't have a zoo worthy of a visit?  I've now been to both the car show and the zoo, and am quite certain more people visited the car show in 4 days than the zoo in 4 years.

Car Show, Kuwait Style

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of cars the Historical, Vintage & Classic Cars Museum assembled for the show at the Marina.  I'm pretty certain the cars from the movie Car's were the biggest hit with the kids, but the loudest crowd was definitely the folks watching the bikes.

Finally... Camels

I was reading the paper this morning and saw there were camel races going on in Kuwait.  This was like a dream come true.  Unfortunately, no matter how much time I spent trying to find the schedule I couldn't figure it out.  So, I hopped into the car and headed off to Kebd.

I read somewhere that the area still has the feel of the "wild west", which is almost true.  The roads are well warn from the cement trucks and other large vehicles that traverse the road.  Dominating the landscape were power lines, camps, sand and camels.  Finally, I made it to Hollywood's Middle East!

In the end, I managed to find the racetrack, but nothing was happening.  So instead, I drove through the camel breading farms and took in the sites.  My favorite was the tent with a satellite dish (image below).

This Is How I Know I'm Back In Kuwait

Just before I could get my camera out to snap this picture, the third child was hanging out the passenger side rear window as well.
