| Rick rules the French 4 Gang. |
Every month we feature funny, inspiring or cautionary anecdotes from travelers. If you have a true (short) travel tale to share, send it to stories@ricksteves.com. If you have a photo that illustrates it, please attach it. And don't forget to tell us your first name and the city where you live. We'd love to hear from you!
Classroom Cred
Recently, one of my "French 4" seniors sent you an email to let you know how much our class loves your TV programs, and that we have a "Rick Board" in our room. You were kind enough to send us back an autographed picture for them — and one for me! Attached is a photo of my students and "the wall". (Note the poster with RS initials — my students are very artistic.) The "gang sign" pays homage to your HILARIOUS rap song that one of them found on your blog.
I have had these students for four years and I am sad to say that my last day with them is this Friday. They don't know this yet, but I bought 11 copies of your France DVD so each of them will have a memory of all the fun we've had watching your travels.
Big thanks, and keep up your wonderful work!
