Another great Sunday today. The good news is found the Catholic church in Sarande. The bad news, is that they don't have a priest. As a result, they couldn't celebrate the Eucharist and so we had a prayer service instead of a mass, and it was awfully sad without Communion. I am going to try to find some fix to the situation, but with only one weekend left in Albania, there's not a whole lot I can do. The weather was again beautiful here, and I have posted some more pictures below of some of the views of our day. We went to Sarande in the morning for the prayer service and then we spent the rest of the day at the beach. I then skyped with the family, which was much needed and then we had dinner. Without further ado, the menu for this past week: Monday- Chicken stew Tuesday- Soup Wednesday- Sausage Nuggets, almost like Hot Dogs Thursday-Spaghetti Friday- Stew with potatoes and greens Saturday-Grilled chicken and rice Sunday- Chicken and pork kebobs Meat is scarce here in Albania, so when we do get it, it's usually chicken and occasionally pork. Now we rest. Tomorrow I'm going to try to compile some Albanian words I've picked up. If there's anything you have questions about or want to see more of or learn more of, feel free to drop me a note in the comments.  |

Great to Skype with you today, Tom. How big is the village at Butrint where you are working?
ReplyDeleteButrint is just an archaeological site that we work at. There are two towns across the river, each about 500 people that send workers (seen in some of the past photos) and then Ksamil, where we stay, is a ten minute drive away and has a population of 3000 people.
