Well, we survived 10 days in Albania with a traditional Albanian wedding and a 2,000 foot mountain climb in the remote valley of Thethi.(Small mountain town in North Albania)
Albania is a small(maryland size), yet incredible country that offers so much diversity with the Albanian Alps, Adriatic Sea, rich farmland, and layers of history. I know we sound like a travel agent, but we had the best time!
The cost to travel Albania is merely 1/3 the cost of the United States. All the food is organic and tastes amazing. We ate farm fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, all which reminded us of the farmers market in Charlottesville. The homemade feta, bread, brick oven pizza, and various meats in Albania are wonderful too.
We also enjoyed traditional Raki, the grape liquor that is traditionally drunk morning, afternoon, and evening! Fresh mountain trout from the glacial streams in the North was also a special treat.
It was tough leaving such an amazing country, but Italy next week shouldn't dissapoint. Here are a few pictures from our travels!
