Elephant ride!

OK, so this was my favorite thing we did while in Zimbabwe. Ride on elephants. Yeah, yeah, i know we've all pretty much rode on elephants at the circus when we where like 6 or something but this was different- it was great! I had a blast, if i say so myself. Of course i couldn't go without having a story, so here it is. I've been accused of screaming a lot durning my 25 years on this planet, but i have never really thought so. Although i think you would let out a loud shrill too, if you where coming upon a steep rocky hill and your elephant starts to charge down it! Plus you have the added fact of your guide is telling you "Ah, yes you hold on tight here. If you fall off, i lose my job - you, you lose your life!" I mean hello, i think anyone in their right mind would scream or yell also when faced with the same situation ;) I rest my case, but like i said it was awesome and i totally loved it!
