My mother and I befriended a Masai named Daniel. He gave daily talks to camp visitors on the Masai culture. In these pics he's wearing a masai wig made of yarn. Interestingly enough we had a brief talk about FGM (Female Genital Mutilation). A Masai practice . Daniel said he would like the practice to be optional but b/c it was a tradition this was dificult to encourage. At one point he even asked me what it was like to be a woman that had not been subject to FGM (sex as a woman who has not undergone FGM). My reply was, "Well, I don't know b/c I don't know what it's like to have undergone FGM." Kind of a lame answer. In retrospect, I think I should have expounded on the relationship between female anatomy and sexual pleasure.

With reagrds to the photo the item in my hand is a cowtail fly swatter to keep the flies away.
