African dance
It is a long tradition with the Maasai warriors to jump. It is said to be a sign of manhood and strength, and is a great competition amongst the young men.
I was absolutely amazed at how high they could jump, this guy must be about three feet off the ground from a stand-still position.
The lion hat
our friend Dee, the best jumper in town.
Gate to the village
The women sang around me
and we danced, chanting what sounded like, "daddy, daddy".
I think they liked my dancing too. Hard to tell though whether they were laughing at me or with me. haha.

We went inside one of their houses.
The first room we saw was for baby cows.
Inside of this tiny hut, we sat in a small dark room that was both a living room/bedroom and kitchen. They had no electricity. The guide explained the room structures and what a day at the village is like. It was a mind boggling experience. Hard to believe that they actually live here.
Then we were lead to what's called their "gift shop".
They were so pushy and pressuring us to buy everything we looked.
Honestly, I would've loved to have bought more stuff but because they were so pushy, I was confused and withdrawn from buying.
