Vickie Gets Blessed by an Elephant
We took some new volunteers to see the temples in Kanchipuram one Saturday. At one of the temples they keep two resident temple elephants who are trained to give "blessings" to the visitors. Vickie bravely held out a rupee coin and this elephant promptly gave her the blessing before depositing the coin with his handler. Was there ever a more blessed woman?

Slime and slobber running down both sides of my hair! Not fair, the four people before me had a dry -trunked blessing but the elephant took a bite of sugar cane before walloping my head!
Ohhhhh boy. Did the elephant lay its trunk on your head? It must have been pretty heavy. It sounds like you were looking right into its mouth.
With love,

I'd say that was a mixed blessing!
Amy-
I'm impressed! Wet or dry, a blessing is a blessing, right, Vickie?! Thanks for sharing all you are doing through your blog -- and all the laughs as well. :-)

Dr. Gibb-I just saw you had a blog. I am so excited to see these pictures and how you are doing. Looks amazing. I'm sure you are such a help there.
P.S. I married my missionary... the countdown was significant as you expected ;)
