Only in India

by HouseBoy

Evan was invited to a friend's 9th birthday party over the weekend. The weather was beautiful - February is by far the best month to be in India with temperatures between 60F and 85F degrees.  There were seven or eight kids attending the party. Of course pizza, sweets and birthday presents were all a part of the agenda. Evan told me the boys spent time playing soccer in a neighborhood green space and later had a "treasure hunt" in his friend's yard.
But the highlight was definitely the elephant. Only in India is it so easy to hire a Mahout and his Elephant for almost any occasion.
First the kids fed this giant, gentle, girl a big bunch of bananas as a snack. Then they all climbed aboard for a ride through the neighborhood...
On "Safari" in Jor-Bagh Enclave.  Very cool!
