10 years ago, we moved from Vancouver to a small village north of Rome called Casperia (pop. 1,200). Over the past ten years we've done our best to learn Italian, the local traditions, cuisine, and culture, and integrate ourselves into our new community. This is the view from our window.

A smattering of Mandarin but I only studied it for one year over 40 years ago.
