Elephant Parade



Bet you didn’t know that Elephants walk the streets of NYC?

My sister company was coming into town this week and it turns out the only way to get the elephants from the train station into Madison Square Garden is to walk them down 34th Street. When I heard about this I just had to go! It happened last night at midnight.

It was super cold and late and while waiting we went to seven places before we found I place that was opened and had hot chocolate but once the elephants were spotted it was all worth it. Seeing them excited me so much. Elephants are supposed to be lucky too so maybe they will bring me some.

They were so cute and all walked in a line holding each others tails. The event was hardly advertised which made for just the right size crowd. It wasn’t overwhelming but there was enough to make it fun. As they approached, people started running along side of them and we also took part in the running.

Oh and also the elephants looked happy. I’m not sure if they really are but they looked it at least!

The elephants didn't get scared by the running people though?
