Crazy animals

Last night I was awoken at around 3 a.m. by some dogs having what sounded like a barking contest. Highly annoying. But, it reminded me of a funny event in Jodhpur. We saw so many animals there; cows galore, a bunch of camels, donkeys, a few monkeys with very long tails, one elephant and a whole lot of goats. For the elephant and the goats we saw them while in our autorickshaw. The elephant I spotted coming towards us so I said “elephant!”; my friend didn’t see him right away but definitely noticed him right as he passed us which really took her by surprise…imagine sitting in an autorickshaw and seeing a huge elephant leg walking right past you…crazy. He was a very happy healthy looking elephant. The goats were impossible to not notice right away as suddenly about 50 of them (literally) came running down the road towards us. A little scary for about a half second until I noticed a guy following them who seemed to be the goat herder directing them. Much as I will not miss all the street dogs I will for sure miss all these random animal sightings.
