Hi Cuties,
So some of you don't have email addresses so I sent this to your parents. So in case you didn't hear about the elephants, they are awesome. They were by far my favorite part of our trip. I took my sandles off so I could feel their skin. It is dry, and round and doesn't feel like skin at all. It is also loose like Rufus's was. When you sit on them they move sideways, forward and back, and the skin slips around. It is really hard to stay on them. We fed them banana's and sugar cane. As we traveled they would reach up their trunks for the treat. There are two kinds of elephants: African elephants which are bigger and wild, and Asian elephants which are a bit smaller and can be trained. They begin training the baby elephants about 3 years and you can ride them at about 6 or 7 years.
I also saw a girl with a bright yellow snake. I am forwarding pictures for you.
If you want anything special from China, now is the time to tell me or your moms. I am excited to come home this summer and would love to bring you presents. Have a Happy Day!
Love ya,
Grandma Powell
