A visit to the caves

Water reflections at Luray Caverns

We went to Luray Caverns this weekend with the 'rents and had a great time exploring the crazy rock formations.  Many points on the tour felt like I walked into a scene from the Gooney's.  We passed a wishing well, a piano, and there was even talk of human bones.  Chester Copperpot?  No.  Booby traps? maybe.

What I'm reading

I chose "Wild" as my next book to read this summer because it is the first selection from Oprah's new book club - book club 2.0.  I'm a nerd for book clubs so it wasn't a hard decision to join the bandwagon.  I will say I enjoy the book quite a bit and look forward to reading the rest.  Books!

In other weekend news, we found wonderful tenants for our Baltimore house.  It was a productive couple days.  Hope you enjoyed yourselves,

Elephants!

In Chiang Mai, Thailand there is a multi-acre elephant sanctuary.  We spent the day helping feed and bath the elephants.  Even the dogs loved a splash in the river.  Did you know mud works as sunscreen for their leathery skin?  Right after we cleaned them, they immediately rolled in a mud pit.  (You can see a muddy elephant -with the mud pit in the background -in picture one)

Great article

....in the New York Times about putting artists into NYC public schools.  It's a quick paragraph so I'm hoping there will be a follow-up.  Read it here: http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/01/cool-substitute-art-teacher-mr-koons/
