elephants in the streets

I think I've mentioned this before but sometimes it is like India knows what I'm thinking. I know that is impossible but I'm telling you sometimes I think something and then it happens.
Like what? Well, on Anya's last day of her visit we were going through a list of the animals she has seen here. I love the fact that I have seen monkeys and camels, etc., etc., here and it isn't a big deal, I mean when do you ever just see a monkey back home? So we went through the list and it included an elephant but I felt like she hadn't seen a real Indian elephant. See the elephant we saw was at a hotel and it was there for guests to take rides, I think it is more fun to see an elephant just walking down the street because really, except when the circus is in town, that definitely won't happen back home.
I kept this thought to myself because I didn't want her to feel badly and also because I felt like saying it out loud would be bad luck. Fast forward a few hours and on the way back to my house what do we pass walking down the road? Not one, but two elephants!
I have seen elephants in Delhi only twice before and one each time so to have two was a huge bonus, and they even had their faces painted!
I'm telling you, it is like India heard me. There is nothing I like better than seeing an elephant here, they just look so happy moseying down the street. No clue where they are going or why they are in Delhi, but I'm happy to see them.
