Kevin Dibb, in the blue shirt, in the town of Thuin, Belgium with host family members Camille and Robinson Rits. I lived there for a year as part of an exchange program called AFS, the American Field Service from 2008 to 2009. While there I lived with a Belgian host family, learned to speak French, and attended a Belgian high school. I returned to Long Beach to finish high school and graduated from Wilson High in 2010. This past year I did a gap year to Germany, before going off to college this coming fall. I'll be attending UCSB- Go Gauchos! While in Germany, I went to Belgium to visit my old host family there, and we took these photos. Here we are in front of "le Beffroi" or Bell tower, for which the town of Thuin is known.
