Mount Kilimanjaro - 19,341 ft above sea level |
Roger said he was lucky to see Mt. Kilimanjaro so clearly as it is often shrouded in clouds. |
The Maasi people are semi-nomadic and live in northern Tanzania and Kenya. Roger took these pictures in an area six hours off the beaten track, so as he said, "they weren't dressing up for tourists."

Can't imagine how hard it would be to balance the bike and the bread! I don't think it would end well if I tried to do it. |
I love finding proverbs from different countries and cultures. Here are a few interesting Maasai proverbs:
"Do not sweep someone else's home while yours is dirty"
"Life has seasons"
"Daylight follows a dark night"
And the last one is a head shaker and I'd sure like to speak to the wise man who came up with this one......
"Do not pinch the heifer's vagina"
Tutaonana
(see you later in Swahili).
