It’s so hard to believe I leave in less than 3 weeks! I’ve been steadily checking things off my list: yesterday I got the last vaccine in my Japanese Encephalitis series. Today I’m putting finishing touches on my website that I hope to launch in the next few days. Tomorrow is my birthday, and as with tradition, I’ll be heading to the Maryland Zoo to say hi to their three resident African elephants, Sampson, Tuffy, and Felix.
This is me last year feeding one of the elephants carrots and other veggies. I got elephant “snot” on my hand, and it was the greatest thing ever! It made me think of the Simpsons episode where Bart’s crush spits on his hand, and he claims he’ll never wash his hand again. I think I have the same kind of magical crush on elephants.
A great job creating this website! I like the picture of you at the Maryland zoo with the elephant but am glad the elephant snot was on your hands and not mine! Am looking forward to receiving your many updates once your trip starts.
As always enjoy your trip and be safe!
Love,
Dad
