Up next was the Mumu. The next day, at dawn, the air was filled with the sound of pigs and other animals being led down to the promise stakes. Before the feast, families brought stakes down to the center of the village representing an animal that they would contribute to the feast. All the animals were tied up to the stakes in a long line and then... I will spare you the details. It was really something to see and hear. We had to leave before the eating happened. Which turned out to be a good thing because everyone got sick after the feast. There have also been reports of animals with a virus similar to anthrax in the area. While it is not fatal to humans, it has made a lot of people very sick.
