Elephants!

Yesterday we went to this elephant rescue park. Apparently when it rains hard, mudslides cause baby elephants to get washed away from their family, and then they get lost and wonder around in town, or in the highway. I say let them wander. The cows do. But they round them up and bring them to this park. It was kind of sad, even though I guess they treat them ok, more or less. Anyway, elephants are pretty cool. Here's a picture:



We hung out with one of the elephant for a while, and then the keepers took them down to the river for a bath.







Afterwards we walked around in this park along the river. It was a nice area in a sandlewood forest, with swings hanging from the trees and funny tree houses you could go in.
