Susan Foni: Day 2

Surprisingly, I woke up before Susan this morning. It must have been my excitement and curiosity to see how the tea turned out!
Although I wasn't exactly sure how our brew was meant to appear, its aroma was splendid. Later Susan joined me for tasting of our soothing herbal teas. About ninety percent of the beverages succeeded so we kept the best for the day's sale and offered the rest to the kids playing outside. We then separated the varying types of tea and coffee into two categories: hot and cold.

Susan and I wheeled the cart outside and trudged for about five miles or so and came across a town with many villagers making their profit by selling clothing and animals. Susan guided me to her usual spot to set up her outlet. She greeted and introduced me to the other familiar workers doing their part to support their families.
Throughout the day about ten customers bought our beverages which made Susan and I were proud of our success.

Grace your writing is phenomenal! The whole time I wanted keep reading, your descriptive vocabulary and great ideas of what to write about kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I could really feel the connection between you and Susan, it was like I was there with you. I also really love the part when she gives you the flowers so you can make tea back home.
