The view from an elephant..........

.................is amazing, and your thighs and shoulders will remind you of the exhilarating ride for several days!

Getting to know Mokasuop, my elephant for the the day at Patara Elephant Farm near Chiang Mai in northern Thailand.....

.......and her four month old grandson, the sweetest little guy.

There will be plenty more elephant pics later........

.....until then, rest assured, it's one heck of a big animal to get on, it's a long way down...........and only a short distance before your thighs are screaming. I warn you, upcoming elephant riding pics of Paula and I will be graphic!!!!!


I'm in Saigon right now...........another amazing place.
