My visit in Juba, Day 2

I woke up to the pleasant sound of chanting. As I went outside I saw the whole village standing in a circle and chanting. After they were done I asked Susan why they were singing. She told me that very morning they chanted before breakfast. She told me they were thanking the lord that they had food to eat. As we were walking back to her home, I saw this little boy crying. I went up to him and right when i was going to talk to him, Susan stoped  me. She told me why he was crying and that she was the only one who knew so I wasn't aloud to tell anyone so I won't. After we finished eating breakfast, she told me to get ready for an adventure. She tole me it was her day off and she would take me somewhere i woulod never forgot. So I went back to my room and got ready. I asked her where we were going and she said that I would have to wait and see. After I was done changing, we met outside and she told me to follow her. As we were walking I looked up and saw nothing but mountains. I was wondering where she was taking me but I didn't ask her because I knew she wouldn't tell me, so i just kept walking.  Before I knew it an hour went by. I stoped and looked back for a minute and saw nothing. Susan and I walked and talked for about another hour and then she stopped me. She told me to close my eyes and turn around. Then she told me to imagine what I was about to see. I imagined it would just be mountains.  But i was way off. I opened my eyes and there was a view that I would never forget. It was the nile river and the whole capital itself. She told me that she would come here when she was little to forget about everything and just dream. I had no idea that Juba was that big. We sat there for about 45 minutes and then started to head back to her camp. By the time we got back it was almost dinner time. i ate dinner with her and her family and had a great time. When I got into bed I couldn't believe what I say today. I felt amazing and I was ready for another day.
