Elephants and Idukki

Hi all,

We've met up with my friend Harilal and his Czech wife Marie (how's that for a coincidence??), and are currently heading up to the mountains. We dropped Marie at the airport so she can return to Germany, and Harilal is driving us up to his retreat center land that borders a wildlife preserve. It's stunning.

A dream fulfilled!



We stopped at an elephant park today so that we could fulfill a 20-year dream of Lenka's -- riding an elephant. Sunita was so graceful and sweet, though the hair on her back was like needles! More on that later, plus photos, when we're back in decent internet range. [update: photos added above]

Love to all,

Mark, Ian and Lenka

Yay Lenka!

I should have reminded you to wear thick jeans and carry a blanket for the elephant ride.
