    "Ren," I heard from above. Opening my eyes and blinking, I looked upwards at the face of Alex. "Ren, we're here." I stood up and stretched. Somehow I had been able to sleep off the remainder of the trip, or at least keep my eyes closed until we had reached our destination. But, now that we were finally here, my curiosity perked up again. In the horizon was a small English village. It seemed to be similar to Normandy, but at the same time, a little different. Half of the buildings seemed to be

    not all ships are created equal. Both of these boats were made of wood, and both were held together with vegetable compounds. Although the Egyptians used wet reeds as caulk for the seams of lumber, the Chinese used strong fibers pulled off of plants to secure small parts together. This was not the only similarity though, rudders were rather mainstream at that point and so both of the different ships used the same method of control.

    One day, our European Gods blessed us with large amounts of edible fish. Shortly after spotting them in the water, my mates and I procured a large fishing net, and tossed it over. While we stood by and waited for our meal to gather, I noticed a few hopeful Africans looking over the edge of the boat, as though their freedom night be found in its depths.
