My Visit With Maruge: Day 7

I met Maruge by the car and we departed with a long meaningful hug. I told him that I had a wonderful time spending time with him at his village and school. I wished him the best of luck and promised I'd be back to visit him again in the future. I cried slightly because I knew that by the next I visited my new friend could possibly be gone but in a better place.We said our farewells and I thanked him one last time for giving me the chance to spend time with him in Eldoret. As the van left I peered out my window and waved for the final time. On my plane ride back I wrote in my journal about the great experiences I remembered from my week long Visit with Maruge. In between the pages of my book I placed the flower I had received along the crease and closed it gently.

You really detailed it and made it beyond interesting like the part about the book that you wrote and how u closed it gently! Nice ending! I loved your blog! <3

Grace I think you did a wonderful Job!!! I loved al your detail you put into describing everything and it was very easy and clear to read because of the flow of your writing. I also think you had great pictures throughout the whole visit with Maruge. Your pictures help the reader see what is going on. I also like how in the last entry you have a journal. I think you did a really awesome job and I enjoyed reading your blog.
