A traditional Maasai hut, made from manure, by the mother of the household |
My friends Becca and Maggie all decked out in their Maasai wear |
Helping my Maasai host mom collect grass for the calves and baby goats |
cutting cabbage! Lucy looks so happy because it was probably hilarious watching me struggle to do that in my hand. |
Becca, cooking ugali- a water and cornmeal mixture which tastes like a very satisfying nothing |
adding salt to the cabbage! |
a very cute little girl whose name I can't remember |
Lucy and Abraham, my Maasai mom and brother for a day! |
Abraham with Joshua, his big brother |
using a machete to clean firewood! |
Lucy being a beast and ripping off thorny tree branches with her bare hands! |
I love these next two pictures! this one is Becca dancing with some of the mamas at the tourist manyatta we went to |
an awesome picture of Julia and Anna dancing with the mamas |
The Morans (maasai warriors) did a dance for us as well...they jump so high that I couldn't even get the whole thing in the shot! |
Maggie, Ally, Ian, and Emily inside one of the huts |
Oops...back to the homestay pictures I guess...making chai! |
the whole family! |
I figured it was time for you to see where I live! My row of bandas |
My banda! Panya means rat...which is appropriate considering the other roommates we seem to have |
Kilimanjaro! It's beautiful with all that snow... |
Some of us in front of Kili...staring off into the distance...haha |
