First Full Day







Saturday's are generally pretty busy let alone when they come on the date such as today, March 8. This is a special celebration for all women in Albania. This triumphs all other days because it is the only day that tradition is set aside and women actually get to "party" on their own and in their own way. Therefore, we decided for our newly arrived guests to experience "the culture" and attend the village women's day party at the local restaurant in true Albanian fashion. It was full of loud music, folk dancing, and more eating than one can possibly consume in a day.
While the girls were at the village women's party, the guys decided to have their own kind of "man" thing.....a hunting expedition up the village mountain trail. (Sounds rather cultural, doesn't it?) Let your imagination go and you will be able to read between the lines and also, what lies behind the photos.
All in all, it was a great day of learning and full of plenty of experiences.
