Allegra isn't just for allergies

I'm alive and well. Ftan is a beautiful place. It kind of feels like I'm living in a postcard.

There isn't a ton to say other than I'm playing with kids and learning Python in my free time. It's a very low key situation that I'm enjoying so far. By the end of it though I expect I'll be antsy and excited to have classes starting again. Pretty much exactly what I wanted.

Tangent: I've always been very amused by the names of medications.
Provigil-antinarcoleptic
Concerta- aka ritalin
Anyway, there are a bunch that I can't think of off the top of my head. The point of this is that I found a new one to add to my list. Allegra. Allegra is hello in Romansch. Everywhere you go people yell Allegra at you. Some pharmaceutical ad guy associated allergies to this scenic valley in Switzerland to the word for hello in the language spoken here. There may be some kind of latin connection but this seems more likely.
