A visit to a boma

This post is a little out of order, but yesterday (Monday) we visited a Masai boma on our way to Tarengeri.  A friend of Diane, and MGLSS graduate named Scholer needed a ride from Arusha to her home village.  Diane also brought food and a solar flashlight/cellphone charger that were needed in the village. As always, the visit ended with the hosts sharing Coca-cola and other drinks with our group.  I'm not sure how the villagers always have something to serve to guests, but they do.

The village men welcome our group



Some women watch from the sidelines


Some of the village women head out to the fields 


Peyton never misses a chance to practice his Swahili, and learn more about the Masai culture

Wherever Diane Jacoby  goes, some one needs to talk to her

This guy picked up some fast food at the local drive through.  Note the live chicken on his handlebars.

  1. these photos are SO fabulous and isn't Diane a great person to travel with? You all have gotten the authentic tour, for sure! You remain in our prayers in Salisbury, NC. Thanks for doing God's work and writing about it in such beautiful ways. Peace!
