1,000 year old boabob tree. Poachers used to camp inside it.

When we visited this Maasai village a steer was selected from the herd.
|
|
The head man punctured a vein in its neck with a bow and sharp stick.
|
|
Blood was drained into a gourd.
|
|
Father showed how he enjoyed drinking the blood.

Then he gave the gourd to one of his young sons for a drink!
|
|
The women of the boma (family group) greeted us with song
|
|
and kind of a bouncing dance
|
|
They dressed each of us in collars and robes
|
|

|

|

|
|
Then we women were supposed to help their women with all of their traditional chores--carrying in the firewood and roof materials on our heads
|
|
|
It is woman's work to re thatch the roofs, using this ladder!
|
|
Then they slap the wet mud/cattle dung mixture on the walls. We declined getting getting our hands in this!
|
|
We crowded around the little stove in one of the houses.

|
Note the window in the wall to let the smoke out.
