Thanks very much. I visited St. Pierre about 2 years ago in June while I was visiting Newfoundland. I found St. Pierre interesting but my three day visit was definitely too long. It was interesting to see how the people lived in a small, French fishing village, far from civilization, but still in North America. What was neet was that, between the architecture, autos, etc., it looked half French and Half American. Imagine Citroen 2CV's buzzing around with Ford Pickup's. When I was there, it was a little cold for swimming. We did a little hiking, though. Getting there was a two hour boat ride on which most people got sick. Customs was no problem. If I were to do it over again, I would visit St. Pierre only for the novelty of it, perhaps. There were lots of interesting places on Newfoundland I didn't get a chance to explore. BTW, their time is 1/2 hour before (after?) Newfoundland's ??? Viel Spass!!! Howard G. Page Bell Laboratories (201) 949-0366 ..!ihnp4!houem!hgp
