look, my friend Archie polished me up! Didn't he do a smashing job? And me just like I was when I was, so natural.

I got this from a Tourism Iceland email last year or so. That's Sean and his mama!

Those r not cheezburgers.

Yes, it's their swimming pool. Looks so nice too.

The girls walked right by us on their way to their lunch break. Look how sweet! Later Greg was like, "you know I was ready to grab you and run" and I was like what is that supposed to mean? And he meant, in case they charge. Which is true, which I knew, but I told him if it's my karma to be squishy by the elephant I am ok with that. And he said, yeah, you forgive the elephant, but I don't even think that would be necessary.

They use all females, of course, cannot take a chance on an unpredictable bull in any circumstance. When I worked with chimps at the zoo I learned a lot about animals in show biz but you can never know enough. At Mela they're always very docile and seem well tended and of course they're just beautiful!

haha, I thought this was clever.

Check out the swastikas in another cultural context. That doesn't bother me, but the Mela's platinum corporate sponsor was Chase bank, who were handing out toy machine guns to people who signed their kids up for accounts. Chase owns my house. I don't like Chase.

the pzoo. Bunnies seem ubiquitous lately.

pretty. .

what's up with me here? I don't know. Those are the dorms behind me.

he came up with that pose all on his own. I'm mad at him today so I'll just say that.

My interpretation of Indian dance. last year all the paintings were redone and had scaffolding in front of them. this is on the other side of the building

this is actually the divine guruji taking an elephant ride but you can see the lovely marble elements in the pillars here

this was on the way to park. elephants!

Dhani Harrison's not the only one in a sunbeam!

I'm so glad I got this shot. You could feel the whole place respond to him hugging Anoushka :)
