I went to school at Superior de Commerce de Rennes, a French private school for international business '93-'94

On the first day I met Annie and David from Quebec

Soon I made friends with people from a dozen countries

Some closer than others...

Some people were in France to party

Some were there to keep us drunk like Jaques a "La Pause"

Andrew Mooney after the Pizza-Frites lunch! (St. Pats)

Yael Colas.  Vive la Bretagne

Of course I didn't spend the whole year in Rennes, I enjoyed lots of France, including Paris.  The Tour Eiffel is a different experience by day...

Le Louvre.  You know, you can't see it all in a day.

The famed Mont St. Michel which is an island by night and mainland by day because the tides surround it.

Crie Thurman.  Take a close look.  Although she is from Finland... Compare each of our facial features..  All of them.  Long lost sister?

Erik Blayot again.  I put this here because he looks like my friend Scott from Boston.

Deborah shaving me..  Still makes me shudder to this day.

This is the Cabaret night at school.  I thought this was getting a bit risqué...

My trip to Helsinki. Met some nice Fins

This is the inside of the school where I learned international business, and of all other things, French

And Erik Blayot

Even the French (they dress funny, huh?)

And closer..  Actually I got elected to student's council with a team called Peinture Fraiche (Wet Paint).

Some to work

Paul Hixon

Antoine Rouselot

Best friends

Xavier, this is normal for him

and by night.  Paris is called the City of Lights for a reason.

I looked at castles...

Actually, I biked there from Rennes and back in a day.  I was at the height of my life for physical conditioning.  110 miles - 7 hours!

In France I shared an apartment with 2 girls and a guy.  This is Deborah and Cathy.

Ok.  This is over the top.

Xavier me and Yannik.  All in all.  The year in France was the best of my life! Merci bien a tous!
