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. |

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! |
