October Newsletter
Hello Members,
Everybody loves October. The morning air is crisp, the colors are spectacular and the smells are rich. Shorter days take us slowly but surely towards the holiday season, but not quite yet, and that's the beauty of it. You can feel the slight celebratory anticipation in the air, but you don’t have to do anything about it. Yet.
This month at the Alliance, we're taking you to paradise. If you think there is no such thing on earth, you haven't taken a close look at .... Tahiti! The Tahiti archipelago - also called French Polynesia - includes 118 islands that all compete for most pristine waters, turquoise lagoons and friendliest people. Bora Bora was deemed 'the most beautiful island in the world' by author James Michener and 'the pearl of the Pacific' by James Cook, an 18th-century explorer. Moorea is a heart-shaped island covered with pineapples - sounds straight out of a fantasy novel - and Rangiroa offers a winery on top of a coral atoll - we could not make these things up. If you'd like to know more, don't miss these 2 virtual events: Tahiti: Between Tradition and Modernity by Philippe Pottier on October 15 at 2pm, and Mon Pays: Tahiti, with Aldo Tirao, live from Papeete, on October 22, 7pm.
