Guess I should pay more attention to my itinerary! I spent the 4th of July weekend in a rural Kenyan town right on the Tanzanian border, in the shadow of Mt. Kilimanjaro. I just got back and am really tired and dusty. Lots of driving on very rough roads! On the way there, we visited a Maasai Boma, or Maasai community. I will leave you with this video and will soon fill in the rest of the weekend.
After dancing with the Maasai women, I was told that I had just participated in the dance celebrating Female Genital Mutilation. That was an unexpected and interesting twist that I am still mulling over.
