Karla, it seems you know more about the Maasai tribe than your letting on, or you have a very vivid imagination regarding same. I could almost feel the womans earrings swaying as she walked. I could almost imagine her anxiety regarding the large predators, thank you for the fun of reading this. Oh and by the way, Kay cant have those earrings, they are mine, LOL! Peace, ED
