Today, I quite possibly had the most enthralling, childlike experience ever! Derrick and I went down to the river close to our camp, and we got in the water with an elephant for a bath! The trainer had her lay down so we could get on, then she stood up and sprayed us with water on command to give us an elephant bath! It was actually very refreshing! When we walked to the river, there were several spectators watching the elephants. When we said that one was for us, one guy scoffed and then watched in disbelief as we disrobed and walked into the muddy-bedded water. Even better was that it only cost us the tip for the trainer of $3.5USD. Surprisingly, no one else got in after us ... no idea why they missed out on this amazing opportunity.
