Elephant Adventure

(Ry) Today I went to an elephant village. First we bought some sugarcane and bananas and someone asked me to sit on one of the elephants and feed it. The elephant was really prickly. The elephant grabbed the food with its trunk. Next, an elephant sneaked up behind Barrett and stole her Bananas and Sugarcane. It was funny. Later the elephants did a show. They played soccer, basketball, logging tasks and painted. They also did a weird show where they danced, walked on two legs, stood on one leg and even gave massages to people.

Then we rode the elephants around the villages. At fist, I didn't think the elephant was sturdy enough, because there was about 360lbs on its back. But by the time the ride was over I thought the elephant could carry even more. Our diver was from Myanmar, he had escaped from the government there. They shot at him when he fled.

Next we went bamboo rafting. We got traditional Asian hats for the ride. Overall, I had a lot of fun.

Today we went to an elephant camp. The elephants performed a show where they moved big logs and played soccer. One of the elephants even painted a picture, it was of an elephant.

Then we went on a elephant ride. Its was fun because I went with only my Mom and one "driver." Along the way the elephants got feed with bananas and sugar cane. They also stopped and ate the grasses.



Afterwords, we went bamboo rafting. We put our feet in the water. It was the Mae Ping River. Ry and I got friendship bracelets and bags from a girl that walked into the river to sell them to us. It was different?!



I miss you all very much. Barrett
