During our orientation in Cannes, we took trips to Antibes to visit the beautiful Picasso Museum and to Monte Carlo and the famous Musée Océanographique et Aquarium de Monaco.

With a best friend who taught French for years (and as someone who had 4 years of French, herself) Connie may parlez vous Francais occasionally or feature beautiful photographs taken by her college roommate Pam Rhodes.
Why did I go to France? For most of my life I have wanted to be able to speak French. I studied French in high school and I majored in French at the University of Iowa but even after all that study, I could not speak French, at least, not very well. I enrolled in the American Institute for Foreign Study and on September 14, 1997, I arrived in Cannes, France to begin a two week orientation before my trip to Paris and the beginning of my great adventure. Here are some views from my room at the International College of Cannes and across the street on the beach of the French Riviera.
