SUPERTEEN (1990?)
JERRY O'CONNELL'S EUROPEAN
VACATION SCRAPBOOK!
Photo Exclusive
When My Secret
Identity star Jerry got back from his spring vacation in Europe,
he called up SuperTeen and said: "How'd ya like to show my fans
some of my personal photos?" Sure, said we, and here it is, for
your viewing pleasure.
Says Jerry, 16:
"I was in Europe for 10 days, from April 9th to 17th. Spent four
days in Paris, one night on a train (a "couchette") from Paris
to Spain, then another four days in Madrid. I went with my brother Charlie's
school, the Bergen School. My brother is 15, one grade lower than me,
and I knew a lot of his friends, so I kinda tagged along. There were
about 20 kids and guardians too, teachers and principals. I had the
best time ever and I'm definitely going to go back someday!" For
now, tho, let's enjoy these great pix!

Here
I am with my brother Charlie in front of the I.M. Pei Pyramid at
the Louvre Museum, in Paris. It's a glass structure and has these
box-like "robots" that go up and down the sides to clean
the glass, Cool! |

| Here
we are in front of the famous Moulin Rouge house of burlesque in
Paris. We didn't go in, but that night we went to a dance club next
door. They played European rock 'n' roll which I liked. One thing
I learned on this trip is that teens are pretty much the same all
over the world... they just speak different languages! |

Here
I'm with Charlie at the Place de la Concorde. It's this big court
area. I had great food in Paris -- there was this one bistro where
I stuffed my face with lots of desserts, pastries and food. I gained
a little weight on this vacation! |

 |
| That's
me with Doug, Charlie and Dan in front of the Opera, in Paris. I
enjoy traveling with my brother; we're best friends. It was an 8-hour
plane flight to get to France and then on top of that it's 6 hours
later there. I was zonked when we first arrived! |
| |
| Here
I'm hangin' with the guys on a street in Montmarte, near Sacre Cour.
Paris was really nice, but next time I go to Europe I want to visit
Italy. |

Here
we are buying a sandwich at a cafe. We met lots of friendly people
during this trip! |
| That's
me buying a "baguette" from a street vendor. It's basically
a "hoagie"... in other words, a ham sandwich! |
|

This
is in the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace in Versailles. It's where
the Peace Treaty of World War I was signed (which I remember from
my history class, one of my favorite subjects!). This place is absolutely
breathtaking -- seriously outrageous! I can't even explain! |
| What
a night that was! That's Charlie, Doug and me hangin' in the "couchette,"
the bunk in the train that took us from Paris to Madrid. It was
a small, confined space but I was so tired I slept for 10 hours!
This overnight train ride was a blast too 'cause there were loads
of kids on it! |

Here
I am with Charlie on a bridge overlooking the famous river, Seine,
in Paris. It was serene and beautiful... |
 |
| Outside
the Cathedral in Toledo, Spain. I really enjoyed this country. I
got to practice my Spanish, eat "tapas" (small hors d'oeuvres),
and omelets stuffed with potatoes. Mmmm, I can still taste
it! One thing I wasn't crazy about was the bullfights... very violent
and bloody. |
| |
| Here's
a shot of Charlie and his school principal, Mrs. Davis, bargaining
for souvenirs in Toledo. I really didn't do too much shopping myself,
but I did manage to buy stuff to bring back to family and friends.
All in all, this was a super trip which I'll never forget! |
