Mark & Connie go to France - 1998

IBM sent me to a class on the 3745 in La Gaude, France in July of 1998. Connie went along, and we travel around Paris and drove to Vence, France with Jerry Cline & his wife.
We stayed in a hotel in Vence and several of us drove back and forth to La Gaude each day for the class. Jerry and I had a little bigger car and it was air conditioned. It was the only one in the gang that was air conditioned.

The hotel wasn't air conditioned, but we didn't really miss it. There were absolutely no bugs around and so you could leave the windows open all the time if you wanted to.
