Visiting European and North American cities, and art galleries in particular, has been important to me all my life.
CanadaI have cousins in Ontario (in and around Ottawa) with whom my wife, daughter and I spent some very happy summer days in 1993 and 1995. We visited the west coast and the Rockies in 1993, which felt like a dream come true. I am keen to correspond (in English, because my French is weak) about living in Canada.
United States of AmericaI have long dreamed of visiting the US.
New York is top of my list, for the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim. My daughter wants to go up the Empire State Building (romantically featured in the film Sleepless in Seattle), but the closest we have been, to date, is the webcam there. She also wants to visit Staten Island and the Statue of Liberty. I guess that we'd travel by the ferry featured in the film Working Girl.
While in the north east of the US, I should like to visit Boston and part of the New England coast, especially during the fall.
Florida comes next, with Disneyland, Cape Canaveral and all that. Dolphins, manatees and crocodiles figure quite high on the list of priorities.
Chicago is important because of the Institute of Art, so lovingly featured in the film Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
The Grand Canyon is a must from all the photographs I have seen, and the reports I have heard. I should love to fly a small Piper over the area, perhaps at dawn.
My brother said that San Francisco is one of the nicest cities he had visited, so I should like to go there.
