2011 Paris Bike Ride: there at last!

06/21/2011 Getting the ferry across the Channel gave us a chance to dry ourselves off after a rather wet second day. On every deck of the ship, the cycling teams were giving off that wet dog smell.

A different approach to solidarity? Far from it!

06/17/2010 Today, I am in Paris at Société Générale. Here, it is the Citizen Commitment Week and the word “commitment” is on everyone’s lips. So, is there any difference between solidarity in France and Brazil? I don`t think there is any difference!
