You can’t have a blog about Sri Lanka without a post on elephants. We have seen them in the wild, in an elephant orphanage, in a zoo, dancing, in parades, on trucks, on roads, at temples and at weddings. We have fed them and patted them, we never rode one, but we were given a hair from the tail of one for good luck, or special powers, or something cool.

Elephants always look so gentle when you take a close look at their faces, don’t they? But also like they’ve lived a thousand years already. And they can be really powerful too.
