Elephants!

Riding out elephant through a river!!!

Bathing our elephants in the river!!!

 Our guide wrote our names in Thai on our arms in blue marker. Combined with the outfits, it made us look kind of like prisoners, but it was still somehow cool.

 Sliding off and into the river.

 Feeding the elephants bananas.

Kirsten and I and our elephant.

 Yeah, Kirsten is standing on an elephant--no big deal--and I'm just having a Titanic moment....

Practicing some directions in Thai.

Kate, Kirsten, and I with our baskets of bananas!

Yup, this is the prettiest picture of me EVER.

The gorgeous elephant training camp.
