Elephants! Sophia, CJ and Leah visit the Elephant Conservation Center

While Katrina and Charlie were hiking in the hill country, the three of us decided to spend a few days at the Elephant Conservation Center near Luang Prabang. The organization was amazing. They are trying to save the Asian elephants which are quickly disappearing in Laos due mostly to deforestation. We spent time at the elephant hospital with the resident biologist who was a great speaker and advocate.  She had fascinating stories about treating the elephants. You can only imagine the size of the examination gloves!

Here's how we got to the center:







And yes, finally the elephant photos. . .
