We were in the internet shop checking our email the other day when we got a visit from a baby elephant. He was with two guys and it you gave them 20 baht (75 cents) they gave you sugar cane to feed the elephant. It was kind of sad - it was horrible that these guys had the elephant. I wondered where they got him. But it was also very cool to see a baby elephant so close. You wouldn't expect them to have so may hairs. And the tip of his trunk was like a finger and a mouth, but it was really the tip of his nose. So it was great, but it was also very not great.

hey aj and julie...
i know just what you mean about the great/not great experience of seeing an elephant up close. i felt the same way every time i saw an elephant all painted up for festivals in india. it seems so strange that these huge and beautiful creatures should be controlled by people. keep up the blogging...i really enjoy reading about your adventures!
