Feeding An Elephant

One of the unique experiences I had in Thailand was coming face to face with an elephant.  While I was having a meal in downtown Khon Kaen with a great missionary couple, Oskar and Rebecca, they noticed an elephant walking down the street.  (Some people walk their dogs and some people walk their elephants).  Since this isn't something that you see everyday in America, I decided to go take some pictures.  However, not only was I able to get some pics, but I was also able to feed the elephant.  I purchased some vegetables (cucumbers I think) and fed him right on the street.
