Temples and Elephants

Today was a busy day of temples, elephants and delicious food. I just wrote a long blog about the day and then it was unfortunately deleted, so here is the abbreviation.

We took a nice long walk before sunrise. The sun came up as were winding down a side street, following a monk on his daily alms walk.

We were inspired by two temples that we visited in the city. We sat quietly in the hall, enjoying the calm of early morning.

Then it was off to the elephant camp. Kelsey was in heaven during our ride. She's convinced we need to buy one.

We visited two of my favorite temples, Doi Sutep and Doi Kham. The highlight for me was circling the major stupa thrice in a walking meditation. The monk at Sutep blessed us with holy water and gave us luck with a string tying.

Tomorrow we head to the mountanis, staying with our friend Anon.
