My mom recently came to visit us in Dasà, Calabria, for the first time. Since I was showing her around anyway, I decided it was a good time to take you guys behind the scenes and show you what a day in the life is like here. Eva and I are heading back "home" to the States soon, but I think this video shows why Dasà feels like the real home to me now.
Hope you enjoy the video! We'll be taking a little time off from posting videos as we travel back to the USA but we'll be back with you all soon so stay tuned!
By the way, we've helped to form a cultural non-profit here in Dasà with the goal of welcoming visitors and sharing local food traditions with people from all around the world. If you travel to Italy and feel like stopping by, the people of Dasà would love to host you! Check out www.visitdasa.com for more info!

Hope you guys enjoy this look at daily life in Dasà! If you had to pick one dish from the feast to try, what would it be?
That pasta looks good
That pasta with the ‘Ndua sauce looked AMAZING!!! I Absolutely LOVE these videos and getting to know all of the characters of Dasa’!!! Keep up the Great Work!!! I can’t wait for the next one!!! CIAO!!!! - Nick Giardiello
The Zucchini Flower Fritters would be my second choice to try
I want the cannoli, although it ALL looked wonderful!
I LOVE fried zucchini flowers! And that pasta dish looks amazing. But my favorite dish to try would be Dasà itself!!
I thought Dasa was the essence of Italian hospitality. All the people we met were very gracious and the food was incredible.
** southern italy hospitality!
My mothers side is from Roseto Abruzzi and my fathers side is Napoli.
I grew up in an all Italian neighborhood in Philadelphia.
My parish St Donato or in Italian San Donato was founded by St. Frances Xavier Cabrini in 1913 for our school, the Church 1910.
To attend San Donato School you had to be Italian.
The reason was in the old days when Italians came to America they were discriminated against, so we had to build our own church and school.
Nobody can build better than Italians, it was a beautiful thing.
Amazing to see a 10 year old being this outgoing and mature. Brava, Caterina!
She's not 10 , you joking?!?
@@joenelmitz8584 Did you watch the video? Harper says it at 7:00
@@joenelmitz8584 heheh that's a very typical 10 year old italian brat, believe me! 😆
i wonder if hes mistaken too? she comes across like 13-14
No way I think she's 10 years old, but she quite the hostess and entertainer to say the very least.
The village is lovely but it's the wonderful people that make it really special.
Every village, especially in southern Italy, is lovely, precisely because of the people who live there. For their welcome, for their human warmth, for their attitude to help someone.
I became very emotional watching this video. The genuine love and generous spirit of these wonderful people are incredible. It's like everyone is treated like family there. Caterina is a hoot. More like 10 going on 30 lol. Absolutely loved her. I have no idea how you and Eva are going to tear yourselves away from there because I'd never want to leave.
You and me both. I've grown up with mostly Italian friends all my life. The other times I have had Mexican friends.
It seems my parents had the same values as both of these cultures. I want to retire in either Italy or Mexico. I need good people around me. Enjoying life together.
So many emotions as I, too came from a similar village in Calabria and immigrated to USA with my parents 57 years ago. But the tears started flowing when Gianni spoke my beloved Calabrese dialect, referring to the freshly picked figs “mo i pighiamma.” I had the same emotional reaction when you and Eva called Mama Rosa to ask how she makes certain dishes and she and Papa Turi gave their instructions “in dialetto.” 😭 Thank you, Harper and Eva for capturing and sharing all these beautiful moments and traditional recipes that stir up so many personal memories for me. 💚🤍❤
@mercedescapiss9386 Your comment is one reason the comments on Pasta Grammar videos are always the best reading on RUclips. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Lol that "Mo" hit me hard too
I hope Dasa does not get flooded with too many tourists after they see this slice of Paradise!
Yes, I encourage everyone who watches this longingly to consider not only "I wish I could visit there" but much more importantly, "How can I make my own home and hometown more like this?"
it will. If you find paradise, don't tell anyone.
What a beautiful video!! Beyond the amazing food, breathtaking sights and a unified family gathering what truly stood out was Catherina (10 years old) detailing with such eloquence the cultural beauty of a small town! Wow, that was impressive!! Listening to a young lady have love and appreciation for where she lives was refreshing. At such a young age she knows that her culture defines her and embraces it. Thank you Harper!
Wasn't she something? I bet she could be president, governor, or hold some important position one day.
I think Caterina looks to be 14.
She should be the honorary ambassador of the comuni!
What a beautiful little speech huh, wow
Woe she is only 10? Amazing ….beautiful heart …she needs her channel … well when she is older ….probably the next Eva.
The little girl, Caterina, said some very important things about the small village of Dasà, like a little bit of all small villages in southern Italy, where the people are all united. They help each other. In case of need there is always someone ready to help you. Unlike a big city where even the neighbor is a “big stranger” (sometimes he doesn't even say good morning to you), everyone on their own way.
Also the biggest 10 year old ive ever seen holy crap lol kids these days, shes living a good life too
@@baurochs2283. In fact, looking at her, she doesn't look like a 10-year-old girl. And also how she described the village of Dasà and all those wonderful people, better than an adult person. Being Italian as well, obviously I understood very well everything she was saying. Unbelievable !
@@aris1956 ya my first thoughts exactly but holy lol when they said her age, im an american german and would of loved to grow up like that
It makes me so proud as a man born in Napoli how the south of Italy has this magic atmosphere where people feels home very quickly . Harper with your sensibility you are showing this with such grace. It is beautiful watching your videos . Wish I will be able to shake your hand one day. All the best
Napoli is different from the rest of the south, it is more like an international city. I found it different and better.
So many of the regions of Italy are beautiful. My cousin's dad was from Trento (we're from Ireland) and her family go over there every year, sometimes more than once. I'm always so jealous that I have no family to visit over there.
Great to see your Mom. Catarina is a star in the making!!
I do miss the people in the small towns. Can't beat their warmth, friendliness, hospitality...
One more thing...
Within the past year, I noticed Harpers slow transformation... he started looking more European... congratulations 👍😊🍷
More European? Nah. He just needs a haircut.🙂
Na his clothing is starting to look European
I just went from Italy to Paris and there is no comparison for me, Italy (where my family is from) is much friendlier and just as beautiful. I'm an Italian chef and learned to make pasta this way from my grandmother (from Modena) and later went to a culinary school and lived in Italy in the 60"s. I missed Italy and always told my wife stories about my time living with family there that I finally got to take her there . I lived for a time with my cousin Silvio Berlusconi and his family in the early 60's way before his becoming the Premier. I was planning to visit him but he passed just before we got to Italy. I love Italy and really enjoyed this video, makes me want to go back again!
Wow
Didn't want this episode to end. Well done, Harper and Eva!
No one will see the, because my comments seem to be ghosted here.
You made me cry with nostalgia. My family used to have huge reunions with pot luck dinner and it was always the best time. Everyone had a signature dish that ONLY they would make. We would also sing and celebrate.
What you have done with the Locanda is simply phenomenal. Giving the residents a place where they all can come togther under one roof. What an amazing place.
Fear not, I see your comment
I see it too.
@@HittokiriBatosai Thank you, sometimes I can tell YT is ghosting me. Other times.... Idk.
@@cjay2 Thank you, for letting me know.
This, in my opinion, was probably one of your best videos, there should be more like this as in showing us how to thrive in traditions and in nature. Hands down to you all in Sasà.
Dasà that is, and sorry I got it wrong.
I always wanted to go to Italy with my Italian husband. Unfortunately we never got to go. I want to travel to Italy for both of us since he has moved to heaven. I only wish I could be part of such a wonderful group of loving people like the ones in this video.
Someday I will get to Italy 🇮🇹
Thank you for the look into your beautiful village
Harper sei sempre più bravo nel parlare in italiano, tua mamma è bellissima, come fantastica è Eva e la sua famiglia, Caterina che ragazza speciale
Pero parla nu poco di calabrisi no?
Having just been privileged to spend a day in Dasa as part of the Autumn 2023 Pasta Grammar Tour, I can honestly say, this lovely episode just gives you a taste of how wondeful a village it is. If you've been wavering about whether to go or not, GO! You won't be disappointed! We all left smiling, laughing and in some way a bit wistful that we couldn't spend more time there.
Harper: Your mum is lovely, so pleasant, polite and genuinly nice. The apple doesn't fall from far the tree. You're lovely and your parents too.
Hope you enjoy Dasa and Eva's family before going back in the Usa.
Eva: complimenti, hai scelto un ottimo marito con una bella famiglia alle spalle. Siete entrambi molto fortunati.
Un abbraccio forte dal Friuli.
Omg...I love love love Caterina! What a wonderful girl! She seems so well adjusted, confident and so secure! You don't see too many young people like that here in America, I hate to say.
She is only 10 years old, but she has a manner, the way she acts, that almost looks like a grown woman. And I must say that you see several young girls like that, particularly here in southern Italy, and especially in the small villages.
What I always find funny about Italians is that you can ask them something very basic like "can you tell me what time the bus to... Is" and you'll get the full history of the bus, how the bus times came to be, the life story of the bus driver and each individual in their family 😂
😊
Watching this video was so important to me as my grandfather was born in the next village over. I now have an idea of what the countryside looks like. Hopefully we will get there in 2025. Blessings to you all.
Caterina was adorable! She was at no loss for words when describing Dasa. Harper your looking so Italian now! Eva is so gracious and beautiful! I love you two together, what a wonderful team you make. Much luck to you both!
I am literally drooling at that fig. My Oratinese grandmother, like many Italians in the early 20th Century, immigrated to New York, but when she went to live in Northern California with my aunt and uncle, she was so very happy. She could lovingly grow everything she wanted and one of the best things about visiting was having those figs. She made an amazing jam out of them as well.
EDIT: They better be restoring that castle and not tearing it down.
No, they're not going to tear down a historic site. They have strict laws about historic buildings. If you're refurbishing a home in a town's historic center, you often can't change the size of the windows - or paint the house a color that's not acceptable to the commune - because they want to preserve the historic architecture and look. And that's for homes that "only" go back a few hundred years, so I can't imagine them destroying an ancient castle.
My great-grandparents came from Northern Italy to New York and immigrated to Northern CA too. I heard stories of my great-grandmothers Italian cooking from scratch.
FABULOUS!!! -- Eva is a very smart woman. She's using baby steps to get you use
to living "full time" in Italy. Lolol. Thank you for sharing. Luv all of you! btw: You're
Mom is very beautiful. Now we know where you got you good looks from Harper. :)
Eva, you are an exceptionally talented and inspirational lady. You make everything
look so easy. Thank you for you being YOU! Safe journey back to the USA!
Thank you so much Harper for letting us enjoy beautiful Dasa with your mother and her friend! You and Eva have been so generous sharing your families! Enjoy the rest of your visit!!!
Tears of joy watching. That meal. All that work!!! Wow. Thank you Eva and Harper for sharing your life.
This was a different video, but it was definitely by far one of the most interesting ones! It was absolutely great!
Your mom is brave enough to drive in Italy...WOW!
Except from big cities.. Most Italian towns have little traffic.. And where I live, North near an American airforce base, most car incidents are caused by Americans who can't drive and don't respect speed limits.. Unbelievable but true!
I can't even express how much this video made me want to visit! I feel this shows how small places can truly be so much better than the big cities everyone wants to visit. How a place and the people there can feel like home when you're thousands of miles away. Dasa is such a wonderful gem as are all the people in it!
Family, Friends, and Food. Nothing better in life
This show should be on The Food Network.
Harper and Eva, this was an excellent glimpse into the amazing everyday lifestyle in Italy's countless villages. There are very few of the stresses of average American lifestyle. Although they don't have all the consumer trappings like 5 TVs or 3 cars, they have what we don't...contentment!
I am Italian/America brought up as Italian in America within a Italian family that never spoke Italian, crazy right. Being a Italian is in my heart. I had left America at 18 years old into the Air Force. I spent most of my life in Asia hence not speaking Italian as I should. I made many trips to Italy and after seeing this video it made me emotional to know what I am missing. You have done the most remarkable job with this video Harper thank you very much. I hope to return to Italy as soon as I can.
God Bless both you and Eva and all family and friends
Antonio
I follow you guys for years and your videos always get a smile out of me even in bad days... But this video has strung a nerve somehow and made me feel really emotional. I don't know if it was watching everybody come together and enjoying each other company, the hospitality, the warm greetings, that wonderful kid with the maturity of a 30 years old... Even watching from home I somehow felt like you all were my family for a while. I really love the work you do, you guys really lightened up my day. Hope I can visit in the future for a tour!
Humanity at its finest. ❤
As if I needed anything more to fall in love with these folks...❤❤
This is how life should be!
That Caterina is a special young lady! I wish more people especially in the U.S. had this sort of spirit and comradery as Dasà, Calabria has.. the world would be a lot better place.
Harper ..Eva....you have been outstanding in showing us the beauty culture of Dasa! This vlog especially that young lady wow she's so mature OUTSTANDING!! this vlog made my heart full of love for what you do! Plus your mom is the cutest lady! ❤❤❤❤🎉🇨🇦❤🇨🇦❤🇨🇦...I Forgot to mention the addition of the Calabrese folk music is pure genius!! That music is gorgeous ❤❤❤🤸♀️🤸♂️🎉🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
Oh no ! Lost my litte heart from Harper and Eva .I just edited comment on account of the music😢
If you have a chance to join them in one of their Pasta Grammar tours...I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! I went on the 'A Week with Pasta Grammar in Dasa' in Sept 2023 and anyone who's been there will tell you that you should go!
@@LorienDrechsler I do want to !! ❤❤❤🇨🇦❤🇨🇦❤🙏🙏
@@LorienDrechsler it’s definitely on my bucket list!
This was a beautiful video Harper. It brought tears to my eyes. The authenticity of the people of Dasa is so beautiful. The feeling of closeness comes through in your video. It was lovely to see your mom and her friend enjoying themselves. I can totally understand why you would not want to leave. I’m sure one day down the road you will end up there permanently. Thank you for sharing a part of it with all of us who enjoy your videos. I wish I could visit there someday. ❤❤❤
Among the 3 best videos on the channel, more videos like this, please and what a nice and "authoritarian boss" Caterina. How to capture the true essence of southern Italy in just 23 minutes, well done guys.
Can I say that I got very emotional with this video and that some tears fell from my eyes? Bellissimo video. Mi piacerebbe tanto visitare Dasà e incontrare tutta quella brava gente. Un bacio dall'Albania ❤
@ Eva & Harper, Se mai visitate l'Albania e specialmente Durazzo/Durres scrivetemi così vi porto in giro ❤
Man I seriously love Italians. I hope to visit Italy one day.
If you've ever been on the historic Old Columbia River Highway in Oregon you can see a lot of stone work that resembles what Harper filmed in and around Dasà, especially the opening shots. That's because when they planned and built the highway starting in 1913 they brought in Italian masons to do the stonework. That style of stonework remained common in public works projects in Oregon clear through the depression.
😮 wow! cool.
Such a beautiful portrait of this magnificent town and the equally magnificent people in it. Thanks for sharing with us! I think we are all need a Dasà in our lives. ❤
Being an Australian child from a Spanish migrant family it’s nice to see another wog (Australian of Mediterranean decent) staying in touch with their roots.
My entire life, since I heard my Sicilian Grandparents (All 4) say it, I've always laughed at how they managed to toss "Okay" in the middle of a conversation. Thank You, American GIs 😂
This was truly _amazing_ -- thank you all for sharing 🤗 but _how_ could you _possibly_ leave? I never could, as it's my idea of as close to heaven as it could be.
Isn’t it hell having your heart between two "homes". We live it every day for the last seventeen years. Greece or America, both have their pluses and minuses. The food, fresh figs just off of the tree, peaches, pears, fresh tomatoes and eggplants, you won’t find that in the states unless you live in the warmer parts of the country. But on the other hand where do you find the latest and greatest in technology, ease in having access to almost any equipment or kitchen tools.
Still there is nothing like family. We have it all along the Mediterranean coast!
Such a beautiful place in paradise, not only the countryside, but, the friendly inviting people! Thank you for sharing .
Ciao Harper!
Vi seguo da tempo con piacere e vi ho trovato per caso, mentre curiosavo tra i video nel mondo che “reinterpretavano” ricette italiane. Quando ho trovato Eva e te … ho tirato un sospiro di sollievo!😂
Devo ammettere che ho imparato molto da Eva e dalla sua esperienza di cucina regionale.
Siete in gamba, simpatici e intraprendenti. Ciò che vedo state facendo a Dasà, è davvero una gran bella cosa!!!
Ma … come fate a restare in forma con tutti quei pranzi e quelle cene???😂😂😂
D’accordo la cucina e i prodotti genuini, ma è tantissimo!🤣🤣🤣
Continuate così che siete davvero bravi!😉
Yes I too was wondering how they stay so fit after eating so much amazing food😮❤.
Dasà is a quaint place made exceptional by its community. Staying there and getting to experience it was definitely a treat, and I think it's great that this channel is giving a window into all of that.
Gianni is a great story teller and that dog was so cute.
My dad’s parents were from Piacenza , but he grew up in the states in an Italian restaurant cooking southern Italian food. I’d risk health issues to eat everything you served at lunch. Now I have to go cook! It happens every time I watch your videos 🍝
Grandissima la citazione finale di Rino Gaetano!
Your mum and Kristen are the cutest! Love mum picked up the hand gesture of food approval too❤
You made me smile for 23 minutes. It felt like I was there with you. Felt like so much fun
Thank you Harper and Eva for bringing us along, I felt warmly welcomed by everyone in this charming place, and it was sad to leave. Can't wait for another experience in Dasa when you return. It's a well-put-together video, done so naturally. Love it.
Amazing video guys!! It brings so many memories about all the time I've had the pleasure to share with you and all the people from Dasà. I'll be for sure coming back there. Bravo per tutti i dasaesi!!
Lol I've never heard a less enthusiastic Italian speaker in my life. It's like Eeyore took Italian classes ;-)
Harper's mother is so beautiful! What a gorgeous, heart warming video!! Loved it!!
THANKS reminds me of my FAMILY when i was younger.
Such a gorgeous town. The wonderful history, warm townspeople, and great food make it a paradise. Harper you are surrounded by beautiful ladies.
More videos of your daily life in Italy, please!
This was amazing! I love the vibe and the immersion. Perfection! Well done Harper and Eva for taking us with you guys on a "normal" day :D
Definitely has to be one of my most favorite RUclips channels 👍🏻
Like pretty much everybody we meet in Dasà, Caterina is a delight. She's what kids are like when they have stable communities, and don't have a bunch of messed up adults filling their heads with complete nonsense at school.
And not having a smart phone in the hands all the time also helps.
@@clausanders2886 Excellent point that I, sadly, neglected. I've long thought that smart phones are a zero sum game -- They earn their smart reputation by trying to suck the smart out of everyone around them. To the extent they succeed, they leave everybody in the room stupider.
Наистина е необяснимо как проведох дълъг разговор с дон Леонардо в малко градче до Катания в Сицилия. Той ми говореше на местния диалект, а аз зная много малко италиански думи. И се разбрахме много добре. Същото се получи и с една възрастна сеньора в Алберобело, Пулия. Беше прекрасно за всички. Трябва да си отворен към всички хора, които имат същото желание. Незабравимо.
Dasa reminds me of the Pueblos Magicos (Magic Towns) we have in Mexico, rustic and full of traditions and culture. And y’all have cactus 🌵 plants too! Your mama is beautiful!
Catarina is so cute and star in the making
This video encompasses the soul of dasa quintessential small town , where human connections light up the place ❤️
Thank you .
Bravo bravo belicimo, l have really enjoyed the video beautiful people nice food and family together.👏Ciao Harper and Eva please more videos more often love to see from so far away Sydney Australia 😊
Bellissimo
What an amazing extended family you have Harper. You're so blessed. ❤
It seems that Dasa has a lot of natural beauty and history to offer, but all of that is outshined by the warmth of the people living in Dasa. I am from the South and we are known throughout the world for our hospitality down here. Compared to the people of Dasa in this video, we seem comparatively cold and aloof.
I want to live there in that tiny village❤. Its so full of community, laugher and love. It's my dream. THANK YOU❤❤❤❤❤
"Harper, where should I put the ricotta?"
*Harper wildly gestures at his mouth*
🤣
Wonderful!!! Beautiful!!! Besides the Beauty of Dasa I think the True Beauty is Heart is the people!!!
My goodness the was a Fantastic feast as well!!!🥰
Omg omg omg I love Dasà❤
Years ago when my 40 something kids were youngsters we did a family driving tour of Italy. No GPS back then...but no problem. When we got lost we'd stop in a town, ask a person on the street in English and lots of hand movements how to get to our destination. And before we knew it we would be surrounded by 15 locals helping us. And of course they pointed us in the direction of the best place in town for fabulous food. I think Italians must be the most genuinely friendly people on the planet. A coach tour of a country is definitely *NOT* the way to make beautiful, lasting memories....it's meeting the people. Harper, you are a very fortunate man to be able to live like a local. Great wife, great life.
Omg i can smell the wonderful odors of the food even over the phone and being with the companionship of the people.
It's been a very long time since we've all been together and sad because they've all passed away.
Harper your mother is a very beautiful woman along with her friend Kristen enjoy the week with them.
Hi to Eva
Blessings to all.😊🇺🇲
EXTENDED FAMIGLIA - that's what we all want!!!
What a blessing, Harper, that you connected with these lovely people 😍
Are there any warm friendly single men around age 72 over there? I'm a native Spanish speaker (originally from Cuba many years ago, now in the USA) and I LOVE old towns and the way of life. I'm a good gardener and cook and would be molto compatibile... SI, Harper :D
I love this vlog Harper and Eva. It makes me nostalgic for my Sicilian family's Sundays at my bisononna's casa. Play bocce, drinking the strongest "Dago "red wine ever made, and eating my Zias', nonna's, and mom's food all day. We sang, played cards (canasta), ate, napped, played, ate some more. Perfect days. Thank you.
Believe it or not this reminds me of days gone by in Brooklyn at some of the family gatherings.
Days with sheets on the dining room table spread with dough and hand made pasta specialties being prepared and the men getting the coals just right for the sausage, lamb and peppers. Lots of home made wine to go around and long nights of laughter and singing. Summer nights in Brooklyn.
You have touched my heart with this video. Left that part of the world a long time ago. But I left a piece of my heart there. I speak the same dialect and make the same food as you do. Thank you for the beautiful memories that you keep bringing to me. An Italian Canadian.
Seeing how the families interact and all sit at a table together is awesome and kinda depressing when I think that that isn’t as common here in America anymore, at least not in my family.
Such an amazing experience... everyone is so friendly and easy going yet passionate about whatever they are doing. An extended family anyone would be lucky to have.
Just beautiful! Would love to join that table and sing Italian songs with Gianni et al! The community that Caterina described so eloquently shines through very clearly. Such lovely and gracious people!! Thank you for reminding me of some long ago trips to Italy to meet family. It wasn't in Desa, but that Italian village warmth and helpfulness was exactly the same...
Oh my goodness. I love all of your videos but this one…….it was fantastic. I love everything to do with family, cooking, etc. I sure hope one day to visit Italy and experience everything possible. Thanks ever so much for sharing all of this. The people in Dasà are amazing and loved your mother and her friend. Incredible and moving video. It touched my heart deeply.
Harper your mom is very beautiful!! She seems a very kind person.... take care of her.
Che Bella Vita in Italia, 🥰
That lovely guy Enzo greeting your mom and her friend could be easily perform the italian Forrest gump
Not that I don't love every episode, but I LOVED this one! Getting to meet the family and friends and see some of the town and area around it was so special! Thank you for sharing this with us! ❤🇮🇹
Bella gente, non c'è altro da aggiungere.
Loved making macaroni with Nonna Annuziata from Calabria. She was the best great grandmother my children could have. 💜
Caterina is my new favorite Italian. (Well, ya. And Eva)
Please invite her to come to USA (maybe for Christmas or Easter?)
Why am I crying? Overwhelming beauty. Thank you, Dasà.
Sir,
Your life is triple blessed 1 fine lady, good friends, and a beautiful village.
I recently found your channel and have enjoyed your videos. Your Mother is so lovely and gracious. Her kind smile makes Me miss My late Mother a lot. Hug Her often and Savour each one.
Chiao, from Elmwood, Wisconsin!
Harper, this film made me cry for joy!
"In my opinion," This is THE BEST FILM in all the internet...it was so wonderful to meet your mom and her friend Kristen from east coast USA, and ALL THOSE BELLISIMA PEOPLE from Dasa!
Caterina is so sweet and so smart and engaging!
Omygosh, what fun and happy spirits are there. The countryside is breathtaking!
PS. I personally would never go to Paris.
I would make a beeline straight to Dasa in Sicily!
May God bless you Harper and Eva.
You should win the best video on You Tube for making viewers like me so happy to see all your happiness especially during these dreary times in "world history!"
Oh, bucket list.
