The few readers I have left on this blog may recognize the folks in this picture. In 2006 I volunteered at Millennium Elephant Foundation (MEF) in Kegalle, Sri Lanka for one month. It was one of the coolest experiences I ever had. The lady in the photo is Rani, whom I worked with back then. The mahout (caretaker) with me is Chandana. He still has the photo I sent him after my stint.
A couple weeks ago, after seven long years away, I was able to return to MEF. Happy to report both are doing well. She took me down to the river where we gave each other baths.
I'll be sending these pix onwards to Chandana too.
I shouldn't wait seven years to go back again.
