India: Day 5 (Part 3)

I love my little red Toyota Prius.  In my opinion it is quite a sexy car!  However, I think if I had the option of riding around in it OR being taken around town on the back of an elephant I would choose the latter in a heartbeat.

Our ride for the day.

The name of our elephant wasor flower (in case you do not read Hindi).  I really do not believe that there is a more docile or gentle creature than an elephant.

I was sooo happy in this moment!

In my next life I want to come back as the person who gets to paint the elephants every day.

Our "driver."

Sadly, the 20 minute ride was over way too quickly.  Though I was very excited to explore the Amber Fort more intimately. . .

One last parting elephant shot.

    Haha, I totally thought this was going to be a post about Red Priuses after reading your first sentence :P

    PS. Do you really believe in your next life and past lives? Have you read “Many Lives Many Masters?” If you do believe in that and you haven’t read that book yet, you MUST. Either way, read it because it’s super interesting!
