If you guessed Chang Mai, Thailand as our sixth destination, you were correct!
Ascot, Bow, and Bolo are types of neckTIES... a little homonym humor there... TIE... THAI... lol.
The elephant is to Thailand as the eagle is to America. I'm not sure if the Thais know Dumbo (the 1941 Disney film and popular ride at Disneyland) ,Babar (from children's literature), and Horton (Dr. Seuss's character who "heard a who"), but they do love them some elephants.
And in the 13th to 18th centuries Northern Thailand was known as the Kingdom of Lanna. Chang Mai is the largest city in Northern Thailand and a major tourist area.
Yesterday we "adopted an elephant for a day"... Which meant we paid more money than the other elephant tours to be reassured that we were going with the only company that treats the elephants really well. Not sure if that was true, but I enjoyed giving my elephant a bath. Marshall was worried about bacteria from the elephant poop, so I don't think he enjoyed it as much.
