Bye Elephants!

Time is running too fast! I’m already leaving Chiang Mai. It was an amazing experience. 

The city is really awesome; so clean and beautiful with its temples, markets, food stand on the streets and their people. I spent the weekends in this city and during the week I’ve stayed at the Maetaman Elephant Camp volunteering for and with my elephant lady Natalie and her mahout Dolo. Elephants are so big, smart, cute, funny and playful animals – you have to love them. All the elephants (about 70) at the camp are really happy and well treated. I had to bath them twice a day, sell bananas and sugarcanes during the shows, as well as the elephant paintings ( just ‘google’Hong, the elephant who became very famous because of her beautiful paintings. Hong is part of this camp), make elephant poop paper, help in the kitchen, cut banana trees (elephants’ favorite snack) and give the elephants lots of hugs and love. 

In the city I have visit a cooking school, Tiger Kingdom, lots of Spas and the markets.

I really had a great time.
