Tanzania Day 7.

Today we went to a Masaai town. We had to get up early to be able to fly there and have a good amount of time with the Masaai. When we got there, the whole village was waiting for us. They all had clothes made out of red material, and they women wore neck collars made of beads. When I got out of the car, the children came running over and started dragging places. First they showed me their houses. These are mad of mud bricks and have tin roofs. Most of them have fenced in areas next to them with a goat or a pig in them. They keep their cows in a corral away from their homes. We went with them to the main square, where the people treated us to a dance and music. It was a very upbeat and the dancers feet were flying up in the air. The children pulled us into the dancing, and I was breathless, but laughing when I finally stopped. They cooked us all a traditional Masaai meal of grilled goat and cassava dumplings. We were all really full when we finished and we sat under a tree for a while listening to and telling stories. After a while the younger men went to get the cattle from the pasture, and we watched them drive the beasts into the corrals. We had to leave after that because we had a long drive to the airport where our plane was waiting to take us to Zanzibar. 1. 2. 1. People watching the dancing 2. Girls wearing the traditional jewlery
