acclimation

We had a little trouble with Joel exhibiting irrational fears a couple weeks ago, on our arrival in Kenya. A neighbor's little rat dog and ants (seen or otherwise) made him unable to leave his bed without shoes or socks, and the house without adult supervision. But this week we went to an elephant orphanage, and I saw this sight, which makes it look like he's getting along just fine. This is Joel, watching elephants, and holding the hand of a perfect stranger.
