We had a wonderful opportunity to meet some of the local tribes. The Hadzabe are a hunting/gathering nomadic tribe. We went with them on a hunt (luckily, for me, they didn't catch anything.) We stopped about ever 30min so they could start a fire to have a quick smoke. Watching them start a fire with sticks was so surreal & primative. We all tried to shoot their bow & arrows, but it was near impossible. I couldn't even pull the bow back, but to them it was like a rubberband. I traded my Univ. of Washington purple bandana for a hand-made necklace w/one of the women & also paid $2 for a couple arrows. Then we met people from the Datoga Tribe. He had 11 wives & couldn't believe that the only man in our group only had ONE wife! When we all showed up, he thought we were all his wives. The scars on the women's faces are from a right-of-passage ceremony. I showed them the tattoo on my back & they loved it. They asked why I got it, but I don't think they understood that I paid to have it done.
