I got into my plane to
the city of Eldoret Kenya found my seat and sat down. The plane ride was only four hours and I was happy it wasn’t very long. I was excited about meeting Maruge and visiting the school. Next I got comfortable at took a little nap. When I woke up I got a cup of coffee and read my book for an hour or so. We were going to land in about 25 minutes so I just sat tight for a while. When we landed I got my bag and got off of the plane and walked into the airport. It was 103 degrees outside and I started dripping sweat almost immediately. I saw maruge standing in the tiny airport and I walked over to him. I said hello to him and I shook his hand. “At last we meet” he said. “Yes I am glad to be able to meet you” I said. We walked out of the airport and took an hour bus ride out into what looked like the middle of nowhere. “Are we there?” I asked maruge “No” he said. “We have a 30 minute walk” he said. My heart sank because for number one the area we would be walking through looked a little shady and rough. Number to I was tired and didn’t want to have to carry my duffle bag. It was dusty rocky and their was barley any green plants. As we walked people gave me strange looks I was starting to feel scared but we started walking farther away from the town. I was sweating dusty and about to collapse coming up a hill when I saw the little village. We walked down the hill feeling glad the walk was over. We walked through the poor tiny village and went into Maruge’s little hut It was Quite small and had blankets as doors. We sat down on his floor and as we did so I was wondering how maruge was able to do the hard walk at his age. We were so tired we skipped dinner and settled down to sleep on the mattresses lying on the floor. I was very tired and I fell asleep very quickly.
