Artistic Elephants
Riding an elephant is actually fun.
This is what we discovered, somewhat to our surprise, when we went riding on an elephant somewhere near Chiang Mai in northern Thailand. It is easy to get into your sedan chair from the wooden platform.
After that, all you have to do is to provide bananas and bamboo for the elephant to eat. Now, our elephant did not trundle along too quickly, mind you, but we eventually made a giant circle and arrived back (near the elephant food) where we had started, after about a 45 minute walk. Our elephant was very sure footed when walking up and down rugged terrain.
After our elephant walk, the elephant walked around to the "art" area when easels had been set up. Each elephant 
then painted something on his own easel, using a magic-marker type of pen and holding it in his trunk. It was an amazing display. I did not know elephants were artists!
Some other tourists bid for the right to take home their very own Original Elephant painting. We just admired our elephant's ability and will always remember these creative elephants!
