October Outings

On October 8th we had a faculty retreat to Pattaya, 2 hours south, where the Noongoonch Gardens reside. The gardens are best known for the famous Elephants that paint pictures of themselves and do other rediculous things that elephants should never do. Lauren loves elephants so she asked this one to take a picture.

Is this rediculous or what? Its funny to watch but at the same time very upsetting.

You can buy bananas and give the elephant a fruit for riding the tricycle so well. Those bars infront of the elephants are newly installed because a month ago a small child was killed by one of the elephants. Aparently the kid had a banana, but instead of just giving it to the elephant, he/she teased the giant beast with the piece of fruit. the elephant got very mad, and since there was nothing stopping the elephant from charging and raming the child with its giant trunk, it did.

But its a great show! good for families and small children learning how to ride a tricycle. If the elephant can do it, then no excuses! get on the damn trike!
