In 1992, I graduated from Cal and signed my first professional contract to play basketball in France. My team was located in Rambouillet, which is thirty minutes south of Paris. I lived in a one-bedroom apartment outside of town. Rambouillet is a small and quaint town with a famous chateau in the middle of the district. I would spend my weekdays practicing, learning French and meeting friends from various cities. On Sundays I would hop on a train and go to Paris. Paris is fantastic. The city has a lot to offer with its monuments, statues, museums, the Seine river and the famous street called Champ Elysee to name a few. I would walk all over the city enjoying the sights with the aid of a map. There were many French pastries and breads to enjoy especially my favorite baguette. "C'est tres bien".
