 In the far distance is a Masai boma and all their cattle. In the foreground are two warthogs! This is the actual village that we visited. |
 Over this hill is where the new school is being built. Our $20 went toward its construction. |
 These six Masai women sang and danced a "welcome song" to us. It was neat to see! |
 Next, we sang and danced with them. Dawn is to the left, Jeff is to the right, and Carol is in the middle. Carol and I have wedding necklaces on, and Jeff is holding a peace stick. |
 Two Masai men are demonstrating how they start a fire. |
 It didn't take them long at all! |
 The middle of the boma. This is where all the cattle are herded to each night to protect them from predators. |
 A hut. You can kind of see Carol, which gives you a perspective how high the ceiling is of this dwelling. |
 Ben, the chief's son and our tour guide. He's standing in the central "living room" area where the fire is located. |
 Masai children. Most of the children we saw wore western clothing. |
 Looking down at the Masai Mara at their cattle. This is an opposite view of the very first picture up above. |
 The Masai women gathered into a semi- circle to sell their homemade crafts. This is only half of the circle. There was a lot to check out! |
 Ben is standing in the middle negotiating with the women. I paid him and he paid each of them since a lot of them didn't speak English. |
 Dawn, Ben, and Jeff. This is our 2002 Christmas card picture. I'm holding the peace stick I bought. |
 We met a Linda in Uganda, and she sent this picture she had taken in Kenya. She wrote: "I went to Africa to see the animals, but I have returned four times because of the people. This is an old Masai woman who agreed to be photographed after being paid [a small sum by our standards]." |
