Safari Day 2

Another great day viewing God’s creation.  The variety of animals He created continues to astound me.  Each so unique and so beautiful in it’s own way. 


We also visited a Masi tribe.  The boys had a jumping competition (the high jumping is supposed to impress the girls so that they can "win many girlfriends"...boy do they know what I look for in a man!!!

They did a few dances for us then showed us around their camp.  They did a fire starting demonstration in which it took them less than a minute to start the fire.  All the boys at the camp were interested in my iphone.  They wanted to see how it could be both a camera and a phone…really funny coming from a culture that doesn’t have toilets.

Back at our lodge a man offered my parents 9 cows for me (this is the traditional dowry given to parents).  It was quite the self-esteem booster to know that I am only worth 9 dirty animals  =)
