How'd you spend Christmas? Me? Oh, I rode an elephant...

While celebrating Christmas in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, I met this guy---
as in Jake the Elephant.

I spent the Christmas holiday riding an elephant!
(That's not Jake in case you were curious)

It was a really cool experience once I got my mind around the fact that it was an elephant I was about to ride.

But then when I looked down for the first time all I could think was: holy crap, if I fall from this height next to a multi-ton animal....

What it looks like from above Jake the Elephant while he eats!

Photobucket
Couldn't resist...not often you're looking down at the tush of an elephant!

Photobucket
Jake.  Isn't he a beauty?  He was in his mid-20s.

The trunk and skin of an elephant: amazingly coarse!


I went in skeptical about riding an elephant, but it was an amazing experience I'm glad I did.
