Ilkurot

After returning to Arusha from Engaresero, I spent the evening relaxing and planning what to do for the three days before my dad was going to arrive. I decided to visit another village near Arusha, Ilkurot. I spent two days and one night there, and got to sleep in my own Maasai boma.

It was another very fun trip where I got to learn a lot about the people of the village and how they live their lives. We visited a 90 year old man who had 9 wives and 60 children, went into mines where they gathered sand and gravel, hiked to a nearby crater, and just walked all around the village- which was quite big.
