Day 57





Incessant searching for food (bushes, us, other elephants). Including one errant foray into the woods on its own accord (with us on its back) that left the handler in quite a fuss.

Day 56



Terrifying: riding a bike in a skirt, on the opposite side of the street, in Thai traffic while taking pictures and videoing

Damage: Clipped one (parked) car, almost got hit by a motorbike, nearly died trying to cross a highway-type road while jumping foot-high curbs, pretty sure I accidentally flashed half of Chiang Mai

Success: no bodily damage to my physical body or bike, just to pride
