A Wild Ride

Hello All !
We’re back and we did it! Riding an elephant is nothing. Not even when the mahout jumps off and walks ahead so he can use your camera and take pictures (and he doesn’t get back on). Not even when you swing back and forth and roll around the elephants back as the huge shoulder bones go up and down and you feel like your going to fall off for sure, and your palms are grabbing the lap bar so hard and sweating so much you can hardly hang on and roller coasters are beginning to look really really good. Piece of cake, nothing to it………. Next time I go I’m taking my bathing suit so I can get in the water and give the dusty little (huge) thing a bath. It was part of the package but we declined this time.

I have found a new favorite country. Thailand is beautiful, friendly, hot and very economical. The standard of living is so low we could go and live very well on our social security alone. Anyone interested???? Many retirees are there, especially from the European countries and you hear a lot of Australian accents as well. If you haven’t ever thought about going there, time to put it on your list.

I have about 400-500 more pictures I need to download. I’ll send you all copies when I am done ( just kidding). I’ll just talk your ear off about the trip when I see you.

Take care all and if I don’t see you or talk to you before…………HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY ! ! !
