Marcia - here is the picture that you wanted. The elephants are limited to 4 persons, so Dixie chose to sit on the other elephant so that she could take pictures of us. Dixie shared her elephant with an adventurous woman who used to live in Fraser, CO and who is traveling in India all by herself for 4 months. Also on the elephant were a couple from California who were on their pre-honeymoon. The groom-to-be lost his glasses when a tree branch knocked them off of his face as the elephants were moving through the forest. Once the safari was over and we were back inside the compound, the bride-to-be offered the mahout (the guy who drives the elephant) 1000 Rupees (roughly $25) if he could find the glasses. So, the mahout left the compound (which is inside an electrified fence to keep the tigers out) on foot, and walked into the forest. He came back half an hour later with the glasses.
