Twice a day, weather permitting, the breeding herd from Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage lumbers it’s way slowly through the village streets on it’s way to the river to bathe or drink.  The river was swollen by the monsoon and the word was that it was too dangerous for the babies, but we were lucky enough to be seated river-side just finishing our lunch when the herd arrived.  An unforgettable sight.
