My trip Down the Nile

MY TRIP DOWN THE NILE

I was sailing down the wide area of the beautiful Nile river, catching the wind blowing over my face and feeling my long, soft hair flying through the cold air. It was quite weird how I was the only person sailing with a small- teeny-looking boat, while everyone else was in those Egyptian boats. I saw a lot of tall, thick trees- I figured they were palm trees. on the West side and some huge, tremendous mountains on the North side. I curiously observed the wonderful houses made out of wood, I caught my eye looking at the people walking around. They wore white costumes- I was not quite sure why.

I continued sailing and found myself smelling the beautiful sent of the green grass while I was getting closer to the shore. I left my boat on the side of the wall, and started heading North. I headed my way to the desert, and looked at all the beautiful plants, birds and interesting-looking insects. While getting lost I asked a person in those white-looking costumes where I was, because I was apparently lost. He told me I was walking along the Mediterranean sea, and that I should head back to my boat because it was not safe being next to all those creatures in the desert.I found myself sailing out to sea- not knowing where I was, where I could get food, and in which direction I was going! There was nobody I could ask, and it was getting dark. I couldn't find my way to the shore, because the Nile river was to wide for me to know where I have to turn. That was it. It was very windy, it was amazing how the river hadn't moved from this early morning. I slowly closed my eyes and lay in the boat, feeling the fresh air tingle beside my arm.
