My visit with Maruge day 1-2

The flight was really long and bumpy  but I was really happy when I got there. When I first arrived at Margue's village in Eldoret, Kenya I got out of the car and everyone was cheering and welcoming me. I felt at home right away. He took me on a tour of his village for the whole day, he showed me how they prepare lunch and then I helped dinner. It was my own creation so everyone called it "savoureux ragoût", which means "tasty stew".It wasn't very hard to make but it was much different than what I am used to. The ingredients we used to prepare the dish are fresh, very cheap and easily used to make a quick meal. some of the vegetables we used were; kale, spinach, cabbage, tomatoes, beans, potatoes, avocados and other leafy greens,The meat the we used was fresh chicken and beef. After dinner was over Maruge and his family went out side. All of us gathered around the biggest tree in their village. They all started to sing. I didn't understand any of it but after it was over I asked him why we did that and he told me that it was a tradition that they're family has been doing for 100+ years. Then i asked him what they were saying. He told me that they were praying for the young ones in his family. 

  
When I woke up the next day it was still dark. I looked at my watch and it said that it was four in the morning. I couldn't go back to sleep because I was too excited for the day. So I sat in my room and wrote in my journal. I wrote about what I would like to today. I wanted to go to the school and meet the teacher and all of the kids. Sure enough later that day we did. When we got there it looked so much different than in the movie because it was in real life. As we walked to the gate Jane (the teacher) was there to greet us  all of the kids came out and stared at me for a few minutes like I was an alien. Then Jane gave us a tour of the school. When it was lunch time all of the kids gathered around me and watched me eat. I met this one little girl who told me that she loved me. After lunch was over she tried to follow me for the rest of the day. Jane had to tell her that she had to stay in class. She was crying non stop so I had to stay with her. When we got back to the village it was starting to rain. It was a really warm rain though so I didn't mind it at all. When it was time for bed we went to the tree again and sung again. Then I went to bed hoping for a fun day tomorrow.
