This morning I woke up early enough to see the sunrise. It was my first full day in Mareng, Sudan and I was extra exited! I was visiting Panther Bior and his wife, Nyanthiec. I was great friends with Panther already, but I had never met his wife! I wanted to make a good impression so I put in my new hair clips that I had gotten at the airport. Then I dressed and skipped out of the hut. I was ready for a full day in Sudan.
I met Panther outside, sitting with his wife, watching the sunrise. They both turned around. I stopped. She was beautiful! She had dark hair with tiny little braids pulled up in a ponytail. Her hair had a redish tint. She was wearing a yellow dress. She stood up and said in an accent, "my name is Nyanthiec." "Nice to meet you," I said, and shook her hand. "Let me make you some food." she said. And she walked away.
At breakfast, we sat down on the ground and leaned over a mat. For breakfast, we ate some things that I didn't really know what they were but they were good. "We don't have different foods to eat for morning , noon, and night." said Nyanthiec."That would be a waste of food.
A little while ago, I met Panther Bior from God Grew Tired of Us, and we became such good friends that he decided to bring me on a trip to his home village, Mareng, Sudan. Here is a map of his village.
