Lakshmi, the Elephant

So we rode an elephant. It was awesome. Her name is Lakshmi. And besides being a mother, she is also a movie star and an artist. She has starred in over 25 international films, including Tarzan the Ape Man, and her artwork sells for more than I could ever afford. She also gave birth to the first domesticated elephant in Sri Lanka, her daughter Pooja. Way to go, girl!
