The Elephant Day

Tuesday was a day to remember. It started with a guided trip to a local market.

Then, we moved on to the ox driven carriage ride.

Also, please be impressed that I successfully managed to get this video in here, but do not be mad that this video is boring.

After the carriage ride, we went for a walk in a national park a few hours north (I think) of Bangkok- Khao Yai National Park. We were walking to see a very, very beautiful waterfall, however it required climbing down the steepest stairs I have ever seen.

The waterfall really was magnificent.

But then... I had to climb back up the stairs. That was hard.

After my legs no longer felt like jello- we moved onto lunch. It was a DELICIOUS chicken soup with coconut milk, and dragon fruit for desert. It was perfect.

Then- we got a peek of the best, best part.

I rode on an elephant and it was fantastic. We made friends. He splashed us with water, it was AMAZING. Certainly, a day to remember.

Hello friend. It sure was nice to meet you.
