How far are you from Chapala? That's where my husband's grandmother lives.[/QUOTE]
About 30 or 40 mins away. Very close.
Chapala's lake surroundings are filled with American and Canadian retired people that dress festively all year long, I love them n_n[/QUOTE]
LOL! Now there's something my mother-in-law never told me about. All she talks about is how she gets so sick whenever she goes to see her mom.
Hey 2 near barcelona and 1 IN Barcelona! Don't forget abut the Jellyman!

Right, that's what I said, 2 from Barcelona.

Sorry Jelly. Just like in the regional elections, votes from Barcelona count diddly
Well, I guess on a US board it's not too weird that we got a bunch from Texas, Cali, and the New York metro area. Top 3 population centers, 30%-ish of the total population.

HA! I believe her. The fish from that lake are mutant, I tell you.
We've got heavy food down here, her mom must be used to it by now.
Some of those areas are really nice though, I would assume you husband's grandma lives in Ajijic since that's the biggest concentration of elderly Americans and Canadians around the lake, and it's a beautiful place, my best friend has a really cool house there, we go whenever we get a chance, it's very relaxing.
:laugh:

I'm really not sure. She's not American or Canadian though. She's Mexican.
La Purisima, maybe? I have her mailing address, but there are more parts to it than I'm used to looking at.

Oh well forget it then, it can be any other little town in the area.
//I think I've never been to La Purisima.
I'm from Alberta, it's the Texas of Canada.

In Finland, I am from Turku, "where civilization first appeared in Finland - and from where it never left", as the saying goes 
Originally, I'm from a small town in the Satakunta province, some 50 miles away. Left there when I got into the university. With any luck, I might be returning to that neighbourhood: there's an opening for an English teacher at the high school a town or two over. Wish me luck, I've got the interview on Wednesday.

Been there, done that. I like California 10x better. THERE, I SAID IT.

My Aunt is in that commercial for a second!
Here's the full one where she's featured as a 'tourist'. She's the lady in the passenger seat of the car.
@Calleja: Not too far over into creepy, actually.
*deep breath* Born in Southern California (Lancaster), moved to England when I was three (Cambridgshire). Moved to NORTHERN California at 11 (Nevada City and Grass Valley), moved to France when 16 (Martigues, near Marseilles), moved to Sicily at 18 (Aci Catena, near Catania), to Nevada at 19 (Reno/Sparks), Alabama shortly thereafter (Huntsville), and finally to Savannah, Georgia at 22. Living here has been the second-longest I've ever been in one place at a stretch, which has made it REAL hard to put down roots anywhere *chuckles*

Calleja: Glad you said it and not me.
Charon: Holy shit. Were your parents assembling the Da Vinci code or something?

My husband lived in San Pietro Clarenza while he was stationed over there.
Forgot your hubby was at Sigonella, too.
Were you in Reno/Sparks any time after 2000? If so, we might have been there at the same time.
Lived in Sparks from June 01 to October 01. My first day at the Atlantis was 9/11
I was teaching a statistics class that day at UNR, so yup, we were both in the area at the same time for those 4 months.
I'm from Zürich, Switzerland. And my GFs brother-in-law is a Hamburger who lives in Rapperswil.
That sounded strange.
