Greetings from Nagol and Osupot

Sopa!
Last night we became masai warriors, while trekking out for a night. We began when the night was young making our way across the dry road of Gods country. When arriving at the home stay, we were welcomed by our papa and our siblings for the night. (clothing was not required lol :)) We made our way through the goats and sheep arriving at Three Cups of Tea. We visited with the children of the village, taking pictures and playing games. Supper came around 10:30, our mouths watering and our stomachs growling we eagerly grabbed the bowls they offered. We stated eating but had a sudden interruption by Alex Benson's digestive system. After dinner we laid out tired heads and worn out bodies on the interesting bed outside covered by the squoit net. The bed made of sticks and one hide of an animal, wow! thats wild. We laid in the bed all night struggling to sleep as our worn out bodies rolled over the wood. Since there was no light in the village the night sky was lit up by what the Masai call God's eyes, the stars and moon. We woke up early to goats making odd sounds across the village. We rose from the bed seeing the most beautiful sunrise one can see. Julian Payne made his way to the area where the goats were and attempted to milk the goats with the children and Roc. Roc's hand almost got eaten by a baby goat, UH Oh. We exchanged gifts with the villagers and recieved necklaces. Julian's couldn't fit over his head due to the excess amount of hair. We then had one more round of tea and were on our way back "home" to our tent village here in Kenya.

  4. Hi, this is Coach Ski's wife, Tangi. Can someone please tell him that all is well. I dropped my cell phone in the toilet (LOL) & that's why he hasn't been able to reach me. Tell him I'll explain later...ha-haaa...
