We had a greeting from the chief, a welcome song, and a blessing. Learned about their games, tour of a home, and a walk through a makeshift market. Yes, I bought something. Slightly high pressure sales so I took my leave and wandered back to the truck and had a nice chat with our guide, Mwangi.
Another Pic flood...and towards the end, as the sun goes down, giraffes appeared with a clearing Kilimanjaro.
Drive to village
View around village. This is the cattle enclosures made from Acacia branches to keep out lions. These are the dark circles you can see from the air.
The cattle were starting to return for the night

It is only 8:05pm and I'm whipped. Wonderful day. And once again I find myself covered in Maasai Elerai dust and sweat and I don't care.
A Maasai gentleman escorted me to my tent with a flashlight...silently....well, him anyway. Then I said good night and he disappeared...poof
