ReplyDeleteLots of photos of the elephant ride, please! An iconic photo, for me, is the one of Jackie Kennedy riding on an elephant with her sister. It was the last word in glamour to this then-school girl.
ReplyDeleteOh, the color indeed! Mary, these images are glorious. And riding an elephant ~ can't wait to see those photos. ;-)
