India, Final Day

It's hard to believe that two whole weeks has already passed and I am heading for home shortly. I'm sad to be leaving a place where I had such a great experience, but I feel satisfied with the time I've spent at Zamorins and I'm excited to go home, most especially to see my wife, Raechel.

Today we had an opportunity for our final field trip, this time to

visit the Elephant Park as well as to do a little shopping in town. The Elephant Park was just that, but on a grander scale than I ever expected. There were around 90 elephants, and none were behind cages or bars, only secured with chains to keep them in place. It seemed like a fairly humane, the elephants seemed playful and generally good demeanor. They ranged in size and age, with the youngest being a playful one right at the entrance. It was probably one of the most entertaining animal in captivity experiences I've had, mainly because of how close the animals were.

We closed out my experience at Zamorins with Dr. Baji, Col Babu, my mother and I sharing in an evening discussion. Dr. Baji gave me my final examination, which said my health had improved with a lowered blod pressure and losing 10lbs. I'm looking forward to taking some of the learnings from the past two weeks and continuing to apply them at home.

My mother will be staying at Zamorins for an extra couple of weeks, which I think is great. If you have the opportunity, I think you have to take it. Which goes for anyone I suppose, I'd recommend Zamorins to anyone looking to help with a specific medical ailment, or just in need of some mental refreshing.
