An elephant comes to Thippawan

This evening Claire got to feed an elephant that was walking through our neighborhood. Elephants are very important animals in Thailand (and in Thai Buddhism). Their handlers lead them around and sell bags of sugarcane that people then feed to the elephant. This is a way of making merit or working towards better karma in the future.
