Hey! Try it all. It's a once in a lifetime experience. I want to see you break your own personal boundaries. This is an awesome experience you are indulging in. Get your feet and toes dirty. It wont kill you. Keep up the good work!

Ms. Radia,

What's up lady? Girl you better rock that "business casual" gear!Aye, as one of my most inspirational quotes go: You do what you have to do, so you can do what you WANT to do! Keep that in perspective and your children books will be written and published soon enough.

Love and miss you too!

Elle,

I swear no one has an appreciation for animals like you do. I can still remember you getting excited on our rides home for Howard as you saw cows and horses down the interstate.

No, I didn't venture into the water, that is Nikki in the pic. However, I'm in the last one standing between the two elephants.

Yeah, I became saddened when I saw the elephants with the shackels around them. Yes, I know they weigh a ton and could killed someone if they got out of control, however, I like to see them as I saw them in the Mira in Kenya. Free and roaming. That was an amazing image that I'll never forget. I thought: yeah, this is God's creation.

Girl, you can't tell me that this is not some incredible poop. I just had to capture that.

You're right E, I definitely need to try it all. You know I'm not as fearless as you when it comes to certain things, however, I will continue to explore and do my best. I'm trying different foods...that's a big thing for me:)

Najah,

I think they're training to be "good lil' elephants" for all of the tourists. Which, definitely brings up another topic of concern. But then again, I paid my $65 for the "experience." However, your quesiton has me wondering: but at what real cost to the elephants?
