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 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.
