In the greater Boston area. Do any of you Bostonites belong to the Alliance Francaise in Boston?

i dropped out of the French Library before they merged. I found them too expensive. Do you go to the MFA French film festival?

Reno, NV. Born in Salem, Oregon and when I was 10 moved to Marin County in the SF Bay area, and 28 years ago moved to Reno. Went to college in Columbia, MO and have been in about half the states. Have been to Mexico, England, France, Switzerland, and Italy...ah so little time and so many wonderful places. Looking forward to going back to London next year with my brother and looking at some day trips from there since it will be my third trip to London. Boy, some of you have REALLY been able to see the world. How lucy is that?

My husband and I were, like, born and raised in the San Fernando Valley, (L.A.) like, all our lives. And, like, we still live here, like, all the time. And, like, I don't think we'll ever leave Southern California. It's, like, waaaay expensive, but, like, we'll just have to deal.

Dear Cigalechanta:
I actually missed most of the MFA French film festival last summer because I was actually in France at the time. Tant pis! I hope that the MFA arranges another French film festival this year because they offer some interesting releases that one might not otherwise get to see. Thanks for welcoming people to the page; I've enjoyed the various epistles and sharing of advice and experiences.

BTW where are you, OP?

cigalechanta Sep 30th, 2004 06:25 PM

janeg, I'm in Cambridge, Ma. between MIT and Harvard U. but I miss my old apartment downtown Boston on Newbury St.
I was in a rent controlled apartment and when decontrol came in, we could not afford anything in the neighborhood so this was the closest to my home of many years.

Came to America from a beautiful Slovenia at age 18 and have lived, primarily, ever since in a small town NE of Seattle. Have lived in NZ with travels throughout Europe, much of US (incl. HI),Canada, Mexico, Fiji...Back to Slovenia each year... Would love to retire to a sunny and warm San Diego area (Fallbrook preferably, since I'm a country girl at heart)), but it's cost prohibitive...Will probably stay put in Seattle area.

I'm currently living in Sydney, Australia but am moving back to Melbourne in a week and a half after 10 years away. Ahhhh, scary!

London, UK for the past 7 years. before that, other parts of England (growing up - North West England, University - Midlands, and a different job before this one - South East England).

So fun to see where many of you folks are living and traveling. I must check this site when home at least 2 times a day. My education without school! I'm a retired teacher.

woodstockguy Dec 11th, 2004 03:41 AM

Woodstock, New York, very rural in the Catskill Mtns and near the extraordinarily scenic Hudson River Valley. I've seen lots of the US, Caribbean, UK, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Croatia, Greece, Austria, Hungary, Czech Rep, some of Canada, a bit of Mexico, and a bit of Turkey, which is hopefully my next big trip.

Lots more places and continents to visit. I want to go everywhere!! Alas, too little time.

Fodors is the greatest, by the way. Lots of great regulars and lots of generous travel fans who are rich source of information.

Last go round, we were living in Brussels (5 years Brussels plus 6 months central Germany). Now we're in the UK and I can't say that we're loving it or even liking it that much. We'd go back to Brussels in a minute. However, it's early days and hopefully things will improve.

Where do I live? Out of a suitcase, of course. :)

Between 2nd and 7th, for all you anatomy students.

When does the MFA do the French film fest? That sounds great!

letour Dec 13th, 2004 05:05 AM

Thomthumb:
The MFA ran a French film festival last July. The Alliance Francaise/French Library also loans/rents a fairly wide selection of French DVDs and movies to its members, so that might be another way to see French films in Boston. In addition, the AF/FL often screens French films on Thursday nights--those I believe you can pay to attend without being a member.

grandmere Dec 13th, 2004 07:28 AM

Travelingmom, are you new to the 'Burgh?

Tries2PakLite Dec 13th, 2004 08:32 AM

Born in Albany, NY -- have lived in PA, NY, CT, CO, MD, FL, MD, and am now living in the beautifully snowy Syracuse, NY area. It's great to be back in NY state -- no one makes fun of my accent!

I've been to Ireland, England, Italy, Germany, Austria, France and Switzerland. Hubby and I are currently planning on returning to Florence in March. On the top of my To Visit list is Scotland, followed by Greece and Turkey.
