One of the best things about Thai culture is their love for holidays. Since elephants have played such an intricate role in their culture for thousands of years, it's not surprising that these pachyderms get their own day on March 13th. Elephants are given blessings from monks, elaborate ceremonies are held, and big feasts are prepared for the elephants. Perhaps all of the world's countries should hold their own honorific day. Yaaay elephants!
Monte and I have been away from home since August 20th, 2008. Our five countries in nine month's time include Mexico, Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, and Malaysia.
