Masai Visit

This is one of the homes we visited
This is a traditional Masai home that we also visited
We ate goat meat and chapatis
Torsten loves to go barefoot, just like the Kenyan children
There are many Masai people living in the valley below us, and we have become friends with a number of them. Two of them who are guards here at the school recently invited us to their homes for a meal. It was about an hour's drive from here, way out in the countryside. They are an interesting tribe in that they still hold to their traditional ways of dress and lifestyle to a greater degree than most other tribes here in Kenya. These families live very simply, with no electricity or running water. They are traditionally herdsman of cattle and goats. Our friends slaughtered one of their goats for our meal. We had a nice visit, and it was an interesting day.

Hey Sharon! thanks for your comment on my last post! At least you're still blogging, so we'll keep in touch ;-). And maybe join facebook, good way to keep in touch as well!

Love the fact you let Torsten walk around on bare feet. I used to love it as well!
