Val, Natalie, and Ben :D

Today we went on a wild and crazy adventure to the Bannerghatta National Park wildlife preserve.  Seeing the lions and tigers and bears and elephants (oh my!) in real life was a very great experience, for us to see things that we normally do not see. After leaving the safari tour we hunted down the elephants so that we could ride them.  On our mission, we saw cobras and spotted deer, and Indian pythons, and a camain (crocodile) (OH MY!) By far the most out of the ordinary experience for us was the monkeys running around out of cages where we normally would think they would be in cages.  The elephant rides were cool but we kind of felt bad for the elephants.  Poor guys walking around the same path all the time and eating the same grass all the time with people sitting on their backs in the hot weather with no water and their sad eyes really touched our hearts (haha).  

Some of us washed our clothes for the first time... in a bucket instead of a washing machine.  The  best part of this experience was trying to dry the clothes by ringing them out instead of the spin cycle on the standard dryer, which we have all become grateful for, especially Val because her small hands couldn't ring out her clothes very well. 

p.s. hot sun, all day, mosquito bites = tired :)
