Elephant Day

Today was a ton of fun, literally a ton. After a 30 minute drive into the mountains, we jumped into our elephant wrangler gear (unflattering blue jeans and a wild vest; they want us to look like people the elephants are familiar with) and headed into the hills. We hiked about 1/2 mile through a rubber tree grove and into a clearing where we were met by 3 full gown elephants. Our morning was spent, feeding the elephants sugar cane, some elephant vitamins, and giving them a bath. Once done, we had lunch with the elephants. It was an amazing experience.

Not the best angle, but you get the point. We hiked about 1/4 mile with the elephants to their base camp.
