An amazing spectacle in town today; a 40 ft mechanical elephant parading through the streets! The roads were closed to traffic, and thousands of people came out to accompany the elephant on its sightseeing tour and civil reception. It was a wonderful experience, and great to see so many people of all ages enjoying the free theatre. The elephant is both an incredible feat of engineering and really endearing. He eats, drinks, sprays onlookers with water, flaps his ears, trumpets and kneels down and goes to sleep. You can read all about it on http://www.thesultanselephant.com

That is really cool! I saw you are done with the Uraguay Scarf. Are you going to post some pictures of that? I'd love to see how it turned out.
