Check!

When I first found out I was coming to India, everyone told me that I MUST ride an elephant. Well over the weekend, I gladly checked that little number off my bucket list. This is Lakshmi (why does everyone name their elephants Lakshmi?), Diana, and I. Oh, no big deal, just riding an ELEPHANT.

At the same park, we got the chance to also ride a... CAMEL. Which, to be perfectly honest, was a lot more fun than riding the elephant. As Laura and I trekked along, we were making Aladin music and realizing just why it all sounds so round. With each step, your head wobbles and your bum shakes, it is incredible fun.

And then, of course, just to finish off the exciting morning of animals, a cobra charmer happened to be sitting in the same area. He had two cobras with him, so, he draped one around my neck and let the second dance as he played his awesome flute. I'm not afraid of snakes, but as the cobra danced a little too close to my face, I did get a little nervous.

Check, check, CHECK.
