Elephantitis

One of the fun things to do at the zoo is to go see the elephants. One of the elephants has been trained to accept money and in return will tap his trunk on your head. The Indians love their elephants - one of their main gods here is part elephant so you can imagine what a novelty it is to have an elephant "bless" you with his trunk. For us of course, there were mixed emotions. Joshua refused to get close to the elephant. Caleb didn't care for the experience either and gave out a scream. Johanna went for it and I don't know if she pulled back or what but the elephant completed missed her head. Sarah had no complaints just the well-mannered look when she is in hands of strangers.
