Hi everybody,
On my sister's b-day we went elephant ridding! My elephant's name was Kalamae, she was 14 and very naughty. Dad and I rode on Kalamae. I got to ride on the bench and on her neck! When we were walking with the elephants, my elephant kept stopping and wandering away to find all the food she could.
After we did the walk we fed the elephants bananas as a treat. They were so greedy that when you gave them the banana, they would rip it right out of your hands. Did you know that the elephant has two nostrils like you and I do? Also when were feeding them, Kalamae sneezed on my leg (That's a once in a lifetime experience!). When we were feeding them you could get really close and hug their trunk and look in their mouth. The two things that I did that were really fun when we were feeding them were touching their smooth ivory tusk and kissing the elephant.
Before we rode and fed the elephants, we helped bath them. You took a brush, went in the water with the elephant, and scratched them all over. Since the elephant is so big, they would make the elephant sit in the water and every now and then they would make the elephant lie right down under the water. They would say, "Elephant diving elephant diving".
Bye for now

ps. the place we went was an elephant rehabilitation centre.
