Snake Slaying...

This pic is as the snake first reached the tree; you prolly cant see the snake in this one. This pic gives you an idea as to the distance at which we encircled the tree. We couldnt get close bc it could lunge so far and once it was in the tree it could jumpe out. So we, the initial 4, began the onslaught like this. After 5-10min more and more men and children begam to show up and "help out;" i suppose i shouldnt be surprised ppl joined us...im sure 4 men, 3 Maasai and 1 white guy, circling a tree, throwing things at it, and running around like scared little kids (before it got in the tree, it was aggresive and chasing us) would attract attention anywhere, especially when in a place where much else isnt really going on (the circumsicions happened bright and early this morning and the party aka food and drink and dancing didnt start till ~4pm so we had to find something entertaining to do i spose...).

I will post the pics and story of the circumsicion later.
