After taking a cruise on the Li River, Guy and Anne-Marie rode bikes on the countryside of Yangshuo, Guangxi, China. This Breton guy tried to be Chinese?

After ITSC in Budapest D. Wark came back to Lannion with Tiphaine and me. Guy came back one day after and we took this picture below the old antenas which were used to send commands to the NOAA spacecraft. I have attached the entire photo, but also extracted one with David, I named it “the dream team”. Guy had a lot of good memories with David and in particular some fishing parties on David’s boat.

Here are a couple of photographs – not of Guy but of a place Guy loved. I (like others) enjoyed a free holiday in Guy’s “other” house in Brehec plage (back in 1999). I recall with fondness Guy’s particular attachment to the small round window (oeil-de-boeuf) in the loft room. I believe this is the house where Guy grew up though I do not know at what ages Guy lived there. (Provided by Steve English)
