Global Card Players

We played cards again tonight. We had two Norwegians, who are passing through on anthropology research, two peace corps workers, five Italians, two native Albanians, two Hungarians, and the three American kids from South Bend, Indiana. It's amazing how far everything has come and how we're all unified around the table with cards and drinks, and it's impossible to fathom that a week ago we didn't know each other. We missed the shooting stars last night, but we hung out at the beach and just watched the night sky. Life is good in Albania and the American kids from Utica seem chill but are content to hang with their group and keep away from us. It's their call, and we can survive with or without them. I'm going to try to find a Catholic mass again tomorrow, and then beach for the rest of the day. Happy Sunday everyone and my love to you and yours.
