What an mess!

Update Update! OK so now it is the next day I have I spent all my time on here getting to this page, what an mess getting on the internet, I will never complain about speed again! But as they say here we are on Africa time! We are leaving shortly for our safari!


UPDATE: I have been sitting at a computer for 30 minutes now trying to get to my blog, but it has not been working, the computers are really slow! Ever slower than our dial up at home! So I am going to post this a little later hopefully!

Well we are back from the Maasae village. IT WAS A VERY INTERESTING EXPERIENCE! What a different world it is there. They live in huts with there family, men have more than one wife, the kids run around and herd goats, the women made beaded jewelry, they dances for us, which was amazing! We also learned about some of their costumes like circumcision and female circumcision. It is a very big topic hear for the females. There tribe still practices is, somewhat, many of the families do not and it is actually against the law. Today I went with the warriors, who are the men and older boys, like between 15 and 40, but there where two elders there that were in their 60’s! They killed a goat and we got to see how they eat it. I ate some of the blood and some part of the meat, I am not sure what it was though, it was OK, not great but I had to try it! We also had a bracelet made out of goat fur. Today we have our last meal with the teachers from PHF, it will be a little sad to say goodbye to them! We leave for safari tomorrow. We finally had a couple of nice days too, so that was great. We haven’t had much sunshine, so hopefully that will be changing. I am going to stay in Arusha a few days and then we are going to head down the west coast. I think there are five of us going to go down there. So it should be fun! We have had a great time on this trip, met some wonderful people and I am learning so much! It’s amazing! I hope everything is well at home. Have a happy fourth if I am not able to get on here while on safari! Much love to all!
