Sawadee Cop. Today we had a great trip to visit the hill tribes up in Northern Thailand. Shoshanna had a life dream of riding an elephant and needless to say we had a great time. Before mounting up we enjoyed a few quick pictures with the local wildlife. Shoshanna played with a very cuddly Gabon. Dad and I elected to instead cuddle up to a 200lb plus Python. I wasn’t too excited when his very heavy head started going down south. He was darn heavy and I don’t think I could have held him by myself. Once on the elephants I was startled when the guide jumped off and told me to sit in the drivers’ seat. I was even more startled when he was done taking pictures and let me be the “Mahout” for the rest of the trip. By the end I was actually comfortably tucked in behind his ears. A great day with unforgettable memories for everybody!!!
