Antan's cake


It's birthday week! There are a lot of important birthdays this week and I'm so lucky, my nephew David made me this awesome cake out of legos. He used the flame from one of his race cars for the candle. Very cool. And he started first grade this week. I'm so proud of you David!

I forgot to mention that yesterday's elephant is from the Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai, Thailand. It's an amazing place that rescues elephants from street begging, logging and tourist trekking. The mahouts (elephant trainers) are refugees from Burma. One of the highlights of my life was helping to wash the elephants in the river. The elephant I drew is made of wood and was carved by one of the mahouts.
