With a bit of luck, we'll try to participate in ceremonies such as the bull jumping and the Evangadi dances. The Hamer are known for their unique custom of "bull jumping," which marks a boy's transition to adulthood. First, the female relatives dance and invite whipping by men who have recently been initiated; this shows their support for the initiate, and their scars give them the right to ask for his help in times of need. The boy must leap back and forth twice over the backs of a row of bulls or castrated oxen, and is ridiculed if he fails. Lunch and dinner at the Emerald Lodge in Turmi.
