My visit With Maruge 4

I get up after a long sleep and walk up and down Maruge's yard for about 20 minutes well his neighbors are giving me weird looks. When Maruge finally gets up I have found 5 eggs and already got the stove running. When he got up I said I was going to make something called an over easy egg so I made two for him and one for me. He liked them but his favorite part was the yolk with a little salt. We get ready and go to school but today were going on a field trip to a village I have never heard of. When we get there I realize this village is tiny and only has a few people so I go to ask Jane why were here and she said it was because this is where one of the most important battles of the revolution was fought. Then Maruge got a sad look on his face and left the group for a while when Jane was talking about the brutal battle. After that part Maruge came back to hear about the village after the long sad day for Maruge we went right home ate dinner and went to sleep.

My Visit With Maruge 3

I wake up to the smell of some kind of meat. Maruge is wide awake making breakfast and getting dressed for school so I get up put on my vans and jeans. Then we eat breakfast and walk to school. When we get there everybody is in there seats ready to learn. Today we spent an hour talking about periods, commas and  question marks. I started spacing out because I have already learned this so much. I awake from my day dream by a tug on my shirt by a little boy. He asks me if I want to play "touch" also known as tag so once we get out there everybody is playing touch. I immediately start playing. Tag is very intense with them because they are so much faster than the first graders that I know. After playing we get lunch(keenwah, beef, and rice). Then we go back inside and read the book 14 Cows for America. They have me read it and tell about 9,11 After that me and Maruge walk home to work in the garden, collect fire wood and collect eggs from the chickens. We have a dinner(eggs) and we tell stories. He tells me about britain occupying africa and I tell him about 9,11 more scary and detailed after that we go to bed.

My Visit Maruge 2

It's been about three months since I was in Africa and now I'm going back. After the very long boring flight I get off to meet Jane and Maruge waiting in the terminal for me. So we got in the car and went to the school to see all of the kids excidly attack the car and tell me to come and play  with them so I got out and we played tag and then we had to go in side when we went in side there was the smell of chalk in the air so we get right into working on adding and subtracting 100s. After school we go to maruges house and tell stories. This time I stay at maruges because I brought a sleeping bag. For dinner we have rice, beans and crickets my favorite part is the fried crickets because they are salty and crunchy. When it's time for bed we shut the door and got to sleep

my visit with maruge

As soon as I got to africa I was picked up in a taxi and taken to his village. As soon as I got there we walked to school to go meet teacher jane and all the kids. We taught for a long time I told them about the things in america and how tall the buildings are in new york. So we walked back to Maruge's house and worked in his garden for 2 hours he told me that I was going to sleep at Jane's house because his was a little to small. So jane picked me up in the taxi and took me to the her house. It was way nicer then I expected it to be. We had a dinner of steak , keenwa and carrots after that jane told me stories of the revolution of britain by the fire. Then after the stories we went to bed. When we got up we had hot rice and bread in milk. Then we went to school in her husbands car and met up with maruge and gave him a ride. When we got to school the teachers told us we had a meeting so I offered to watch the young children they said "sure". So after half an hour of recess and of fun with the kindergarteners we went in side to study more. After a few more days of working in the garden, telling stories at school and at Jane's house I left back home hoping to come back soon.
