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 !!!
.
But... something was making me a bit uncomfortable.
.
I was falling in love ...
.
With the most beautiful girl ever !Her name was Maryline. She was at the beach everyday.
.
And I was to shy to talk to her ... It was killing me !
.
But she was to be mine. One day, as she was swimming in the ocean...
.
She was taken away by some strong currents. "Help ! Help !" was she crying !
.
My beloved was in danger ! I overcame my shyness !
.
And rescued her !
.
Aaah ! Feeling her arms around me, holding me strongly as if she would die if she had released her grip (actually may be she would have...)
.
Here you are my lady !
.
I don't know who made the first move but I will never forget that first kiss!
.
She told me that she was coming to the beach everyday, secretly hoping that I would notice her ! What a laugh !!!
.
I knew she was the girl of my life, so I quickly introduced Maryline to my best friends.
.
Gwen, Insa ...
.
... and Tristan
.
Diner was good, but I'm quite clumsy with a fork ...
.
The next days were like a dream. She would ride the waves on my back ...
.
... and teach me how to get a proper sun tan.
.
But it was time to leave Ocean City and continue the trip. Nothing was keeping Maryline in that town so she followed me. We first went on a cruise ...
.
"I'm the queen of the world !!! " - Maryline was having so much fun.
.
I was a bit worried : "don(t you suffer from vertigo?"
.
I forgot to tell you. It was a love boat. Only for couples. So we sadly left Tristan behind... But Gwen was there!
.
And Insa!
.
Insa and Maryline were getting along so well, laughing at women joke only women would understand.
.
And I was laughing at Gwen
.
Life was perfect: a boat cruise, my friends, and my love!
.
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 ... "
