Lizard Man's Travels

This site is a journal of my travels and other adventures while I shift from doing postdoctoral research on tree frog ecology in Darwin, Australia, to research on digestive physiology of lizards and bats in Sede Boqer, Israel. Enough friends have been asking me for regular updates on this journey, that I thought this would be the best forum to keeep everyone up to date (including me).

Crazy week again


Sinai camel
Originally uploaded by wandering lizard.
Okay, really really crazy week. Over the weekend a group of 5 of us went to the Sinai peninsula for a long weekend. Last night was Lina's farewell party, which went to 5am. Tonight at midnight, we will take her to the airport for her flight back to Colombia. Then tomorrow, I'll catch the bus to Eilat to start field work on digestion in migrating birds for a week. So, I'm a bit swamped, but thought I'd post this teaser of our trip to Sinai. This is Lina and me at the Bedouin camp in an oasis where we stopped for tea in the middle of our day trip by camel and foot to the desert mountains of Sinai. Wow that place is amazing. I'll have pretty bad access to internet while in Eilat, so I'll post more (and probably respond to e-mails) when I get back.

Sure enough. These things just need a few leaves and some water to get by. They're a bit slower than your average VW, and tend to spit, but they have great ground clearance, and never get bogged in the sand.
