Elephant Festival

We happened upon an elephant festival in a little village about an hour's bus ride away from our beach house.


42 ELEPHANTS! My friend Antoine (from France) and I enjoyed the day, the colors, the culture, the rawness of real India together.




This was as India as it gets. No tourists, no hawkers, no English. Just us in the middle of a jungle, seeing a little Hindu village just do its real thing. Antoine and I went out to dinner that night, and I expressed my tears in words. It's sometimes just all too beautiful, and I don't know what to do about it.
