Hello and welcome to my page of the day.  My name is Nicholas and I am here in Aix-en-Provence, France studying classical dance this year.  While I am studying in France, I will put one photo of my promenades on this page each day.  As such, if you look at it often, you will know exactly what I am doing.  I hope that you like it and don't forget to write me at saadah@stanfordalumni.org.  So long!
 
Picture for April 24, 2003:
Hello!  We got back from Lyon today and we had a wonderful time!  I spent the whole weekend with my cousins, my aunt and my uncle and it was really wonderful!  Ok, I am really excited about today’s photo!  You know that in France, there are trains which are called TGV (Train à Grand Vitesse [Very Fast Train]) which go 250 km/h! (150 mph)  When a train passes through a station without stopping, it is really impressive!  For seven months, I have tried to film coming through a station and I finally got one!  Here is a photo of the TGVs, and if you click on the photo, you can see the film which I took.  It is in .avi format and I was able to open it with Windows Media Player, Quicktime and RealOne Player.  When you watch it, keep in mind that the trains slow down to go through the stations!
