Jo got to drive an elephant !

Yes, you read correctly. I got to 'drive' the elephant. The handler got down to take a couple of pictures for us and he let me go about 100 feet, even up a big hill. This one moved when you prodded its ears, but somewhere after 100 feet we weren't understanding each other, and instead of going over a steep edge into a river below, I gave back the reins. It was certainly a neat ride and we saw a mother monkey with her very new born baby hanging on under her stomach. All in all, a nice adventure.

Rick, we tried to get you a bracelet , but there weren't any.If you look closely you can see a baby monkey holding on underneath.
