We got to practice today, and we're actually pretty good. Apparently, my personality is suited to a defensive position (go figure), so we are working on strategy. Here is me sitting in the mahout's position on Namvon, an elephant about a year old.
The other team members have pics of me playing polo on the elephant, but I haven't gotten them yet, so that is for later.
I am about to go get a Thai massage on our afternoon break.
Have a good Sunday everyone!

Wonderful pics! I can't believe it's a real elephant and you're sitting on him/her! I'd love to hear about how you came to have a fabulous hobby like that!
Here's another one of me goofing off on the elephant:
Hedvig, if you go to our website DC Elephant Polo and then go to the Media section, we have an article that made the front page of the Post talking about how we all got started.
The next tournament we are headed to is in Sri Lanka in February.
