Tigger sends his apologies

Cooler in the hills and we were straight into a jungle walk with a local guide. To be honest it was more like a forest than a jungle.

We saw bison:



Deer (I’ve never seen one in Minnesota), and a giant squirrel:



All of a sudden our guide gestured us to stop, went ahead and then called us forward, sadly not tigger but a wonderful sight nonetheless:




We watched for 20 minutes as a group of nine wild elephants just went about their business, a wonderful privilege.

And Tigger did let us know he had more pressing business:
