First of all, the elephant mural was actually more like 6 feet by 6 feet – I was kind of rushing the typing and messed that up. Elephants are pretty great, but not that skillful, or huge!
Secondly, the last thing I was thinking about was the ways that humans have figured out to get from point A to point B. In the short span of 5 months, in order to get around the globe, Seth and I have experienced such a variety of ways -it really made me believe that our species is remarkably resourceful at adapting to different needs and environments. Here is a quickly compiled list of the things we could think of off the top of our head….
elephant, camel, foot, bicycle, scooter, motorbike, car, truck, plane, tuktuk, cycle-rickshaw, ferry, slowboat, plane, train, bus.
“So far no horses or goats”, to quote Seth, but I’m sure we’ll be adding more to the list in the next few weeks!
Our Lao post should be up in the next week, and we are going to attempt to put some video up then too.
