Living the american dream of love (how I met Maryline)
I was finally fulfilling my dream, my American dream !I was in the USA for a few months. .
Living the American experience. Wearing American hats...
.
... and Ray Bans. Don't I look awesome on this pic? .
Like a movie star
.
I literally enjoyed every bit (shall I say chunk) of USA: the cars...
.
The children were so nice too ! .
And the buildings ! Never had enough of them !!! .
And joggers, they were my favorites.
.
But one day, as I had ordered another ice cream, my friend Tristan got upset and told me : "Stop it Gogo ! I know you love USA and Americans so much but you need to calm down !" .
He was right. I was getting a bit overweighed. .
It was time for action... sport... .
And go to bed early...
.
I was quick to get back in shape and eventually found a summer job as a life guard in Ocean City. That was so much fun !!!

Time for me to fin-ish my story with a song.
" Risin' up, back on the street
Time for me to fin-ish my story with a song..
" Risin' up, back on the street Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
-
So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the pas
t You must fight just to keep them alive ... "

THE END
