Babylon on Earth that was?

[symmachy]

That's the only Babylon I know of.

[dollinspace]

Were there Hanging Gardens? And elephants?

[symmachy]

Yes, yes there are. The Gardens are beautiful and the elephants quite large.

[dollinspace]

I've never seen an elephant but Simon would tell me about them.

[symmachy]

They're wonderful creatures. Monumental and gray and splendid to ride upon.

Who are you? I shall take you to Babylon once I find my way back.

Meimei. Will it be an adventure?

[symmachy]

Of course it will!
