Our professor, who had recently moved his family to Haifa from Boston, told us how his son was speaking English to him while they drove home from school. The professor asked him to speak Hebrew, but the kid said, "I'm tired, Dad. I want to speak English for awhile." Living abroad is hard. What kind of work were you doing in Milan?

Fulbright Exchange. I was teaching teachers / carrying out workshops and seminars in methods and materials for upgrading their english teaching skills.
I recall for some reason that you spoke Spanish. Did you do any ESL with local Mexican workers? I did in Truckee and it was pretty much flying by the seat of my pants.
Yep. I taught through adult ed here in SC 17 years. mixed -culture students. I LOVED every minute of it - especially working with the absolute beginners. So much fun
