I got back into the country last night and while I am happy and relieved to be here, I already feel like I've been away from the elephants for a very long time. And I'm afraid it will also be a very long time before I can go back. When I was at the park it immediately felt like home, as if maybe I'd been there before. It seemed so natural to be with these animals, to be up close, touching them, feeding them, treating their wounds. I will miss them intensely and being in their presence has reinforced my drive to protect elephants everywhere.
I will never forget my time there and I have much more to write about, so stay tuned.
