Masai Party!

Loneliness is not an issue these days. There are 25 students camped out in the backyard this week. That is a lot when I have become accustomed to being alone. In addition, my friend Stacy came to visit for two days. She arrived via pikipiki on Sunday and we walked to the treehouse to give her a taste of what that side of my research is. On Monday morning, we were invited to a Masai party. Seven cows were killed. The Masai kill by suffocation so that the blood is retained in the body. A bit gruesome. They then skin it and actually drink the blood that had drained and pooled in the hide. Enjoy these gruesome pictures!
