I have been playing the senior citizen card for so long now that I am almost enjoying being 66 (not really). I use my age to get in front of a long line at the Apple store and now I discovered it really works when you are traveling around the world. Most younger people really want to be helpful. If they don’t, I tell them I am a senior (not that they can’t see that for themselves) and usually get my way.
Such is the case when we went on a camel ride 500-feet up the sand dunes in the Sahara Desert to see the sunset. The camel guides were so caring and attentive, that it made it easy for us to accomplish this challenge. Getting on and off a camel is cumbersome but they told us how to do it and what to expect. Most of the folks on our tour (the majority over 60) really enjoyed this once-in-a lifetime opportunity.
Eliot and Lois on board
At this point, I’m still in disbelief that I’m in the Sahara Desert on a camel
I didn’t take my hands off the reins. The guide must have taken this picture
We made it 500-feet up. All we needed was wine and cheese.
We got what we came for.

How do you capitalize on playing the age card when everyone around you is your age???
Next I’m waiting to see you and Eliot in those shoes with curled up points riding on a magic carpet! :>) The photos are spectacular! Any Bogie sightings? :>)
A wonderful experience at any age. Don’t forget to ask for your discount when you go to Banana Republic for your exploration gear. They offer 10 or 15%. They don’t give it unless you ask so do ask.
You guys look great!
