The Pacific throws spray against black rock as a line of camels picks its way along the sand; the animals move with a steady, deliberate gait that puts the coast into a new tempo. You feel the rhythm in your hips, the wind on your face, and the distant clatter of fishing boats as the shoreline opens up.
