KENYA

The safari was more than I could have expected. We had 4 Maasai warriors each driving Toyota Land Cruisers with knife, traditional costumes that they really wear from their villages along w cell phones. They go to guide school to do this and are quite good at finding big cats hiding out in the bushes. We saw about 5 lions and one leopard (hard to find) along with the usual giraffes lots of elephants. Hyenas chewing on a Cape buffalo carcass with vultures standing by just like you see in TV.
Then we went to a Maasai village. We were pounced on by the ladies selling bracelets, carvings etc. thrusting their arms into our vehicle. Putting stuff in our hands. "Only $5" "only $10" etc. turns out John and both bought about the same thing. We got to see their jumping dance and sing with the women. Then toured their stick and cow dung homes. You can stand up straight only in the center if the house. Then we went to their market where we each got a personal shopper who would hold on to anything they thought you'd like then bargain got it in the end. The price came down 90% in the end so we got some things.
We have to head back tomorrow. I'm already worried about what trouble we'll have in surgery next week but have thoughts on it all. This has been quite an experience.
