I am working reception, again. Last night was really ridiculously fun! After working reception i went to the beach to hang out with Donnie, Emily and the Belgians. They were having a scout initiation and each new kid had to do a bunch of silly things. (like, acting out Michael Jackson dancing, or pretending to be Gollum.) Anyways, so we enjoyed watching younger Belgians making fools of themselves. After awhile of being there a young Belgian approached me and the following conversation occured:
"Hello, what is your name?"
"Grace, and yours?"
"Marteial. Where in the states are you from?"
"Louisana."
"Oooh, cool. You are very beautiful. Will you marry me?"....."Please say yes."
"Umm, no?"
"But, please! I will take care of you and we can have a house in the countryside and you will never have to go to the grocery store because you can sleep and i'll do all the work."
"How old are you, even?"
"16, and you?"
"18. We are illegal in America. We cannot get married."
"But when you are older you will want a younger man with big muscullation."
"No, i am sorry, Marteial."
(There was a lot of pausing in between for him to ask for translation from Martin, another Belgian who knew English.)
Later on i received a lot of puppy faces from this Marteial. And later they told me that I broke his heart. He ended up drinking a lot last night and they carried him back to camp. We ended up not going back to our house until 4am. Emily and I didn't drink, but others did.
We have a house cat named, Frank. He is a pure black cat with yellow eyes. We invited him in to our house but didn't know that he actually came in until later in the evening when we found him asleep on Donnie's bed. He's very sweet. I still miss Tito and Copper horribly, though.
I played fútbol yesterday on the beach with Emily and now my muscles are sore. I haven't run like that in a long time. Oh! and it looks like we'll be able to see Metallica and Slipknot. :) We have to double check first. I'm really starting to like Portuguese rock music, it's very good. Good strong lyrics. I'll probably buy a cd.
Well, that is all for now. I'm living for 4:30pm when I can go to the beach and lay out :) Can't wait!
Much love!
In Christ,
Grace
