Where to Go to Ride An Elephant
Have you ever wanted to ride an elephant? Or Is riding a camel on your list of things you want to do?
If you are looking for unusual excursions, you will find one here!
As you read, you might even think of a few special experiences I have not mentioned! Let me know in the comment section and I will look for information for you!
Have some fun! Step out and do something unusual! Ride an Elephant!
The idea for this lens came from a discussion on 2020's Google Group Killing Zombies! Of course, the whole point of the discussion was to dare to do something unusual - get out of your rut! But somehow I just got more and more determined to find out where you could actually go to ride on an elephant! Thanks 2020 and all you super folks at Killing Zombies! This was a fun lens to make! And I think I will always remember now to go on and ride those elephants! Life's too short to just sit and watch it pass by!

Joan, when I saw this title I just couldn't resist seeing what you've done here. I used to think I wanted to ride and elephant when I was little, but I got scared the first time I got on the back of a pony going around in a circle. My "elephant" ride put me an an airplane for the first time ever and I landed in Novosibirsk, Siberia--guess I should have read the itinerary! Blessings on your head, dear lady!

I loved my elephant ride at a teeny local zoo, of all places! Once we found an elephant ride at a county fair. I think it is the dream of many, many people to swim with dolphins! You can have various dolphin adventures at Sea World in San Diego, CA. Seems to me it was about $150. It is probably on their web site.
You sure have fun, Joan! You are an inspiration!! 5 Star Rating for this very cool page!
