This weekend we went to Masai Mara with Luke and Riley. The Masai people are very interesting. When you think of Africa, in fact they may be one of the main people groups that you picture. They jump very high, are tall and slender, drink cow's blood in their milk, have many wives and children, and live in mud huts. The safari that we went on is one of the most famous safari locations in the world, Masai Mara. We had a chance to "experience" the Masai culture, and took advantage of it. Of course, they play it up a little for the tourists as you could imagine, but it was a fun day nonetheless. The Masai did their tradition singing, chanting, dancing, and jumping for us. They "snaked" their jumping line toward us slowly and grabbed Riley and me to come jump with them. It was really fun! They jump several feet in the air, so I really felt like "white men can't jump!"
We had an amazing time on Safari, and are looking forward to a great week back at Tenwek. Riley and Luke are going to spend a couple days at an orphanage as well. Sorry if I have not been blogging as much, but we have been busy, busy busy! Check out my neice, Riley's blog to get a chance to see Africa through her eyes! We will post when we can because we have some amazing pictures and stories to tell!
Hope you all made it through the time change ok. In case you are wondering...Kenya does not go through daylight savings time, so we did not have to wake up any earlier this morning!
