“One last kiss,” she thought
To have a proper goodbye
Then off to Rio!

Bamboo leaves and cats,
Slow cooked Brazilian meat and
Sunburn at the beach.

A big big farm with
Capoeira and yoga
Full of mosquitoes!

She didn’t know it yet
But their paths would cross again
For many times more.

Love at first sight or…
Almost? But one thing for sure
Love was in the air.

First night, first party
First kiss with a Brazilian
What a crazy night!

Afraid when boarding
Tears were falling down her cheeks
What was she thinking?

“Solo trip,” she’s said
And in South America!
Was she not crazy?

Sweet in the morning,
Bori bori* when sleepy,
Her name is Ellie.

Next Monday it’s gonna be 1 month (already!) that I’m back running. I’m running 20 to 30 minutes every 2 or 3 days and it feels so damn good 😊
