on “moon days” (new moon and full moon) we don’t practise yoga because we are prone to injury because our energy levels are so high. yesterday, being a moon day, some friends and i decided to go on a day trip to Bandipur National Park, which is about 2 hours out of Mysore by local bus.
it was a great day. the lonely planet had warned us that we likely wouldn’t see the tigers and panthers that are in the park, but we did manage to see chitals (spotted deer), another kind of deer, elephants, 2 kinds of monkeys, peacocks, and warthogs!
highlights of the day included monkeys trying to steal our backpacks and an elephant reaching over for me during my token “Medicine Hat News” shot.
Holy crap Punky! Nice pictures. Is there an explanation for the chains around the elephant's legs that won't make me sad?
sadly, no.
Hi Dawn
I am enjoying reading you blog; your stories and pictures are amazing, very colorful. Thanks for sharing.

Awww…poor lil' elephant!
He/ she really seems to like you and your interestingly Canadian newspaper – hmmm…I wonder if you could fit that thing into your suitcase…
I think this part of the trip would be one of my faves! Love the picture of the sign too.
Keep up the great documentation!!

you look a little worried that the elephant is going to suck you up his trunk! I can't wait to show the pics to the kids.
Hey Robert. Thanks for leaving the link to your website and blog. Have fun. I will check periodically to see what is new. Take lots of pics. It looks like a great experience.
