Samburu Day Two and a Village Visit

Today our game drive started at 6:15 and we were greeted with an awesome sunrise.
 This was what we hoped for as the last time we visited Kenya, many mornings were cloudy and no decent sunrise.

The highlight of our morning after breakfast was a trip to a Samburu tribal village.  This one village had 130 people and they were part of a greater community of 9 more villages for a total of around 1300 people.  The women are responsible for constructing their housing.  
       
 This one seemed larger than the one we actually went inside. 4 tall people had real challenges to stoop and enter a doorway 4 ft high and 18" wide.  Kathy and Gene made themselves quite at home in the bedroom on the cowhide floor. 

The children always tug at our heart strings as they are so precious and eager to see us.
