We are there!
As many here know, we decided a year ago to take our T1D teenager on a year-long experience around Europe. We sold the business, the house and the cars, put our gear in storage, and left the day after the end of the school year at the beginning of summer.
We flew into Paris, and drove off a day later to spend the next three months traveling around Europe. We targeted the smallest, oldest, most isolated villages and regions. We started in the French countryside South of Lyon and North of the Med. A month later, we drove East all the way to the Czech Republic (now Czechia!) and Hungary, through Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Belgium. After a month there, we drove to far northern Scotland for a couple of weeks, and discovered the Orkneys and the Outer Hebrides. Finally, on the way to our next city of residence, we spent two weeks in the poorest and most isolated mountain provinces of Western Spain and Eastern Portugal, exploring amazing castles and fortified villages of the 11th to the 16th century.
We spent most of that travel time on the go every few days, rarely with access to wifi, and much of the time without any connectivity. We had a grand time! Towards the end, we were starting to yearn for a more stable base… Now we are there! We reached Granada, Spain, this week, and will call this city home until Xmas 
Although, as always we are planning many side trips.
Our house is truly lovely. It is called a Carmen, an old fashioned Moorish house with an inside garden and a fountain. Here is the entryway:
We have an extraordinary view from our terrace on to the Alhambra and the Nasrid palace:
My wife and I have come to spend several hours every day working from the garden/ terrace: I am already wondering how we will do without this view and whether we should try to buy this house
We are laboring hard at getting our teenager registered for a local public school, an exceedingly difficult process for foreigners here… Next, we will try to improve our WiFi so we can get at least 2 hours of consecutive non-stop service But, even as we are, we will now be able to spend a lot more time in our own community at FUD!
