ELEPHANTs and thai massages

Saturday we slept in and then went to a place near chiang rai to ride elephants. me and lauren rode one together and her name was mayday {although probably spelled differently}. our guide was way cool too and took pictures for us and spoke a little english. before i rode i fed one of the elephants bananas and sugar canes {which she thanked me for by rubbing mud all over my leg haha}. it was a pretty long ride and we even got to sit on the neck too. they took us up into the mountains a bit and it was gorgeous. and to end the ride it poured rain. seriously the best thing ever though, i love the rain in thailand. after that we went straight to get thai massages which is a full body thing and it felt so good but i definitely need to get another one for sure. then dinner and ice cream of course.
