March 21st 2013
13-19th Mar Today we are going to Vietnam but we decided to go on some elephants before. It was really scary because we went down a steep hill.

Elephants and more
Hi Bryan, yes the elephant riding was a memorable experience. They really were well cared for. As for the seat, yes I did feel like I was going to slip through and on the way down the slope it felt like the elephant was going to fall off the edge. As for the $1.00 haircut, Libby cuts the bits I miss and really there isn't much to miss anymore :-)
