National Geographic

I look through my Sri Lanka travel pictures and most of them truly look as if I was on a National Geographic photo shoot. On Tuesday Jan. 10, we had the privilege of visiting Pinnawela elephant orphange. This wonderful place caters to the well being of 70 orphaned elephants. Every morning they are fed breakfast and a bath follows a few hours later. Luckily, we arrived just in time to watch the whole herd walk down to the river for their bath time. We even were able to roll up our pants and get in the water with them! Their skin felt a little funny, but wow, what an experience! A tour of their facility followed and we were even showed how they were tranquilized.
