First days in Grazac

This is the beginning of a year long adventure of living and teaching in France.  I arrived safely yesterday and have already met several wonderful people who have been so gracious and helpful.  This is a photo of my apt. with a view of the mountains. Grazac is a small village in the Auvergne region in central France.  What makes the Auvergne so unusual is the presence of a large number of volcanoes, which although extinct, are a major feature of the landscape depending on their formation, type and age.
