More pictures and stories from Maasai Mara

This one is of Anna with Maasai children who were waiting outside the church for our arrival.

The other is the traditional blessing that all children receive at church. After church the adults form a circle and the children progress in the circle and receive a gentle touch on their head from the adults and words of blessing.


This photo if of the Maasai children crowding around our car to see Laura Mixon.This village is remote in the Maasai Mara. They don't see many white children so they were very interested in her. The small children arrived tied on their sisters backs. Some who carried their siblings were not much older than four years old. They all seem content in this arrangement.






This photo is of the turtle that the boys picked up from the road. It was HUGE. This photo is of Claire showing the Maasai children the turtle. THey were enthralled with it. It's name is Mr. Rectangle. Don't know why the boys named it this. It made it all the way home to Nairobi.
