Lunch with an Elephant!
The Klong Son Elephant Camp or Ban Kwan Chang (supported by the Asian Elephant Foundation) was our site for lunch today. It's located on the north end of the island of Koh Chang, Thailand. After bathing and riding the elephants, they were hungry, as you can imagine. We were able to feed them bananas and they sure loved them. The elephants ranged in age from 10 to 58 and were very well cared for. We have to say this is one of the top adventures of the trip thus far. For those of you wondering what an elephant feels like - the skin is very thick and more than leathery. The elephants have very prickly hairs that can poke you pretty good. The trunk is totally amazing, bending and winding in weird ways and very fast. The feet are huge, and we mean huge, but not as big as the rear end. Baby has back.

Now we know how Julie got on the elephant. What about you Melissa. I think you are a natural to start a branch of First Tech there, but you have to have that van--shades of the sixties.

Oh! and I'll be glad to just travel around to the Tech branches and keep them washed and waxed :)
