Jonna and I were to impatient to wait half an hour for another elephant so we opted to take a ride on one that was not saddled up yet. I never dreamed I'd be riding an elephant bare back, much tougher than it looks! We pretty much just clung on for our dear lives and LAUGHED so hard b/c it was so absurd.
We felt so lucky when we stumbled across these HUGE elephants all dressed up in gold for a Hindu Festival. It was quite the celebration!
Lots of excitement in the air with the drums, trumpets, dancing and chanting. I LOVE the energy of India! What a great way to end our trip! I'm sure I'll be back because I want Mateo and the kids to experience this incredible region.
Surreal. I am amazed. Is this really the Sarah Furner we just saw in her comparatively docile habitat of Singapore?
