MaasaiVillage

Yesterday we left Moshi and went to a Maasai Village to stay the night. Oley Kuney walked 5 hours to meet us. On the way to the village we stopped along the way to view plants that the Maasai use in every life for medicine, toothbrushes, etc. We also stopped to look to a trip of Ndorobo a tribe who wear no clothes, eat locust, honey, etc. We did not see the people but saw a Baobab that they had driven sticks into to get to a bee's hive. They don't seem to fear the stings. Then on to the village where were warmly greeted. We toured the schools and the clinic they have. Later we toured the village and had tea in a very small hut with an open fire (very hot inside). Bob was about 1 foot from the fire. That night we sat outside and talked. That night we were all give traditional Maasai cloths which to say the lest we did not wear well. Later we sat outside and were told about traditional Maasai life and we asked lots of questions about their daily life, religion, history, death, etc. We learned a lot. We are now in Nairobi and internet is better.
Joan, Bob and Carroll are at the game park and will return Saturday.
