Yesterday's post mentioned that we took Ellie to the zoo on Saturday on one of those mild winter days we often (but not always!) get. We are fortunate that our middle-sized city gas one of the best in the country. Probably only San Diego is in the same class and its concept is very different.
A number of Asian elephants were out for a stroll. (We've ridden Asian elephants, in Asia, twice, one of which was terrifying and the other more terrifying, but that's another story.) I may be anthropomorphizing too much but these two looked like an affectionate couple or best of friends. They stood for a long time with trunks intertwined, coiling and recoiling. Elephants are intelligent and clearly have an emotional life.
