Great pics M! Having never been across the pond its hard to imagine walking thru a place with that much history!

[martin14]

all the way back to the Romans, Wil

been there since 500 something.

Fortified garrison town, probably been someone's border post for a long time.

Been the Italian / French line for long time too, no intermixing at all.

French on one side of the hill, Italian on the other.


Now mostly known as a ski resort

What's a gas/radio station? I worked as a DJ mid seventies in several radio stations in Atlantic Canada, even a bilingual one. My one Italian word would be "grassy" for Thankyou!
