I < 3 Elephants











Today we begin our day with the elephants.

Booked through the Elephant Nature Park. They are running late and I hope they pick us up soon!

We struggled getting out of bed because we went to the Chiang Mai Smile Part #2.
Two stages with djs and live music.

The Elephant Nature Park!
The best company in Chiang Mai!


This day was one of the happiest days I can remember.
I got to feed elephants, learn the stories of 31 elephants, wash the elephants, watch 2 documentaries which included the background story of the owner Lek.

In the afternoon we fed them again and bathed them another time.

I didn't have my camera at the end of the day but I watched Lek sing a baby elephant to SLEEP! Only because Lek was there did the mother of the baby elephant let us come over to her baby. .
She encouraged me to hug the baby and I sure did. I stayed with the little guy until it was time to go.

Best Day EVER!






The next day was fun too!
Kevin and I took a cooking class. We EACH learned to cook 6 different dishes!
Delicious and educational, my favorite!
