My friend Ann recently returned from East Africa, full of stories about her adventure: wonderful animal safaris in both Kenya and Tanzania, and fascinating encounters with local people particularly in rural areas. Among the highlights were meeting and interacting with members of the Samburu tribe of Kenya and the Maasai of neighboring Tanzania, both well known for their colorful beaded necklaces, earrings and bracelets. Ann wore her Paper to Pearls necklaces frequently during her trip and in doing so caught the attention of women from both tribes who wanted to know what the beads were and where they were from. "Uganda", Ann repeated several times in response. The women fingered the necklaces and apparently discussed them in their language. Ann and I are certain that whatever they said was complementary! Here's Ann with a Maasai woman, both wearing their unique necklaces.
