I decided t' take the deal. After a quik talk on the phone, the lady asked if I could go down to their offices today. Ain't got nothing better to do so I said I wood. Before I knowed it, I was back in my room, packin' for my one way trip to Santa Augusto. Ne'er herd of the place but the pictures look purdy. Told the landlord I'm leavin tomorrow, bastard said he ain't giving my money back. Fuck him.

What a place to spend the 4th! The picture tweren't lyin! When the man at port saw my ticket, he pulled out an envelope, put it in my passport, and handed it back to me. Inside was a reservation at a nice hotel and directions. It says they'll come for me about the job later this evening. I am nervous but I'll enjoy the view while.
