A Wild Ride

This might be one of the funniest things I've witnessed in awhile. As we were leaving a party at Lodhi Garden on Friday night, we spotted a elephant walking down the road. It appeared that the elephant was wandering by itself without a mahout, but as it turned out, there were two mahouts sleeping in the basket on top. Like most people would do, Louise thought to run into the middle of the road and take a few photos. Lauren thought otherwise. She got the bright idea to hitch a ride ON the elephant. With Ani and G's assistance, she asked to jump on. Within seconds she was on top and slowly making her way down Lodhi Road. I opted not to jump on, but I did stick my head out the car window to capture as many photos as possible. It wasn't the fastest ride ever, but certainly one of the coolest. Where else can you ride an elephant in the road at 1 in the morning?!?

Hello! Fair enough, I will take some photos of my guest house and offices and post those soon. Really, it's nothing exciting, but it will give you a good idea of how I live over here. More to come!
