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]."
