Dispatch #2 Lake Burunge

Road to Tarangire Maasai boys on the road dressed in black. White paint tattoos. Recently circumcised will remain in black for six months to graduate as men.
Daniel is one of. 71 children his Dad had with his 10 wives. No eat chicken as equal to birds. No eat fish as equal to snakes. Beef and goat please and men Very tall.
Roadside breakdown. Maasai goat herder young boys watch as I sketch. Past fields of white flower garlands like fallen stars gracing a wedding of Lilac Breasted Rollers
Many hours later arrive at twilight at camp Lake Burunge. Write by lantern light.
