or at least half of me is.
Today we went to see a massai warrior who has traveled from Kenya to teach us about the nature ways of the massai. The massai people are from southern Kenya and northern Tanzania and this lovely man spends time in Arusha and has even heard of the Sirikwas...Akira's side of the family tree.
He brought massai blankets, necklaces, jewerly, baskets etc to sell. We don't really need any more....but lots of people were buying them. He showed the crowd lots of things, like all the different weapons the massai use out in the bush to protect themselves and their cattle, the beautiful dancing and chanting that the massai are famous for and generally educated people about the life of a massai warrior. It was a great presentation. Aki and I loved the chance to spend time with our culture and to be reminded of what a proud and special people we come from.
