Project Jumbo Day 2

2 April 08, Day 2

In the day, elephants were allow-ed to roam freely in the park...of course under the supervision of their Mahouts.(like the caretaker)
Then at night, they'll be chained.

Second day was mainly talk by Jodi, another volunteer staff there. She talk-ed abt the different elephants in the park, their background..and also abt ENP. Gain many info abt Elephants.

Then did afternoon chores. Which is planting corn seeds! Grow corn...hopefully it's successful so that they can save some money on elephants food. But the soil doesnt look "nourish".
Anyway, had a taste of how being a farmer is like. hahas.
The hut we stay at; Sunrise Cottage! cuz we get to see sunrise. lols.
Everynight, we slp among the noise of dog barkin, howling...elephant chain sound, gecko sound...Then every morning woke up by different 'key' of rooster call and elephant call...lols.Corn field; Bucket of corn; Dirty shoe after planting.
Some view of ENP.
Elephants bathing time by the river. After bathing, elephants like to go to the mudpit and cover themselves w sand & mud agn.
The sand & mud act as insect repellent and sunblock for them.
=)
I always have a nice time just stand there and look at the baby elephants playin in the mudpit.
It's really very CUTE & SWEET~!
