Today was the day for great celebrating for the women of Albania. This is one day of the year that the woman gets to leave the home and get out and kick up some heel! The saying is: "Ha,pi,hopa"! (eat, drink and dance) That is what is illustrated in today's photos. I was invited to attend the celebration of the women of Vlashi and nearby village of Maminas. In the village restaurant there must have been about 200 women. Did they ever have a good time! The dancing pictures are showing some of their traditional style of dancing. My main surprise was the wide range of ages that joined in the festivities. The photos can never tell you the volume of the music or show the real expressions of laughter and gaiety. It will be a day that I'll never forget.
