Welllllll Kind of
- We are moving AWAY from Atlanta
- We are moving 2 hours outside Rome
- We are moving to a small village
- . . . on a rise
- . . . in a valley
- . . . between 2 mountains
- Traffic will be different
A New Season
Join Our Adventure
Follow our story as we navigate the joys and challenges of retirement in a new country. Every Monday morning Mark puts out a new post.
Traffic in Italy will be DIFFERENT
And we are quite looking forward to the change.
What do you think the chances are the sheep we run into (in the non-accident sense of the word), or any other livestock we come across are going to line up like this for us?
We don’t think so either.
Mark & Naida
What We Won't Miss
★★★★★
Horns
I pray with friends who have tweeting birds in the background, while I listen to horns and sirens.
★★★★★
1.5 Hours
Most Fridays & Saturdays & Sundays it takes us 1.5 hours to get home from the barn, 33 miles away.
★★★★★
5 Hours
In Atlanta we are 5 hours from the beach. In Capestrano, Italy we will only be 45 minutes from the Adriatic Sea.
What We'll Get Used To
★★★★★
Serenity
Our garden has lights, for use in the evening, WITHOUT the sound of traffic, or folks yelling from the street, at 3am.
★★★★★
5 Minutes
Every morning we can walk up the road, between historic buildings to the market, for the day’s food, a cuppuccino, even a cornetto.
★★★★★
Views
Panoramic views from our pool chairs & garden, across the valley and to the Gran Sasso Mountains.
Our Neighborhood
A 3½ Minute Video
HEART BANDAID is the name of this short video. I made it for 2 reasons:
- It is a pictorial of Our Neighborhood. And,
- It is also a message regarding the politics OF YOUR heart, NOT OTHERS’ hearts.
