A few Reicher stud ents were literally ON TOUR this past summer. Thanks to Fr. Mike lziulvey, Mrs. Audrey Emmet, and Mr. jim Bridges, they had an cpportunity to spend three weeks in Europe. London was the first stop for the eager group. They joined other students from the United States arid were introduced to the tour guide, R-O-B, Rob . The group spent two days shopping and sightseeing, and then unexpectedly ran into the stars of THE LOVE BOAT. From England, the tour traveled to the lovely city of Paris. The language barrier did cause some problems, but the group quickly picked up necessary sayings, such as: Merci , Metro , and Hotel Bern . The next stop was Switzerland, a wonderful country with beautiful mountains and friendly people. Michaelangelo's David was the main attraction in Flor- ence, Italy, with the Gucci store running a close second. In Rome, the students had the unique opportunity to be blessed by the Pope. The Eternal City had many places to discover: St. Peter's Square, the Vatican, the Coloseum, and the Catacombs. The romantic city of Venice, with its winding canals, was the tour's next stop. The day was spent riding the gondolas, eating pizza and ice cream, visiting St. Marks Square, and crossing the Bridge of Sighs. The trip then continued to Austria and Germany, where there was time for last minute shopping. The tired bunch of students arrived home with bags full of souvenirs. But the souvenirs were no comparison to the memories the group brought back with them. Memories of breakfast, Luigi, jambone, Marla, bustrips, Trivial Pursuit, walkmans, and hotel rooms!
