Toys for sale

This was a roadside vendor, like many others selling the exact same thing in this area, that we saw on our way to the camel souk http://www.pbase.com/helenpb/riyadh_camel in what now seems so long ago. Good thing we saw all those camels when we did given the outbreak of MERS in this country, believed to originate from that animal. However, some Saudis are flouting warnings from the authorities to take precautions with their camels; this is a very interesting piece with camel pictures and a video clip reporting on the subject http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/05/15/saudi-kiss-camels-mers_n_5330971.html

I just heard on the radio this morning that it was not a good idea to kiss a chicken - danger of salmonella.
