He kinda looked like Bambi

Friday was G day aka goat day. We started off the day with a hike up a "small hill" which would be a medium mountain in Illinois. Once at the top we had a beautiful view of Engaruka. After that we continued on to the sacrifice area. It was a beautiful spot covered by trees and has been used for sacrifice and as a retreat from daily life for a very long time. Our goat had already arrived earlier in the day along with several warriors. To kill the goat the Masai suffocate the goat so they do not waste any blood. After that the goat is skinned. The first thing to be eaten is the raw kidney- no I personally did not partake but one one of the girls i was with did. After that came a sort of blood soup. They stab the heart and let the blood collect in the abdominal cavity before adding some colon crisps and spleen seasoning-yummm. Again i was to chicken to try the blood but both of the girls i was with tried it and said it wasn't as bad as they expected. After that the meat was and liver was set up by the fire to cook. I did try a little but of liver- i ate it but probably wont be adding goat liver to my favorite food list. The meat was actually very yummy i found i liked the leg meat the most. After lunch the warriors sang and jumped for us again and i still cant believe how high they get. Here are some pictures from sacrifice day!
