Edible Dog Wrapping Paper

12 days in Albania Shqiperia


Shqiperia in Albanian means the country of Britain, to say the truth is that he has not seen many, indeed for the accuracy yet none. Of course, not having shot a lot. I'm here I'm settling in I'm starting to do something. I live in Vaqar, a village which is 9.2 kilometers from the center of Tirana. As you can see from the photos the house is very big. Obviously that is not all for me. The property is home to the project. The tower and the wing on the left are still under construction, while the right wing is complete on the inside. On the ground floor there is a nursery and kitchen. The first floor of my bedroom, my office and the room of Max, a young Albanian who works here. He is the head of the house, takes care of all maintenance work. The morning and evening I have to say that starts to cool.
The first week was sfiancan
you, also because I was late every night. The center of Tirana is very lively in the evenings, there are local and young people everywhere. In recent days I've started to enjoy my home life.
Saturday and Sunday I was with Fred and Lucy (which for the first time in Albania
was) a little 'about.
Saturday we were pretty much a town in Berat in the south of Tirana. The old town is a real walled city full of churches (photo top right) and mosques. It was worth it, despite the four-hour machine
na and rain that gave us welcome.
Sunday however, we were
on the coast north of Tirana. We visited two tiny little villages that do not even remember the name. The first was in the middle of a lagoon and the little houses on stilts over the water was. Really nice as you can see from the photo.
The second village was a bit 'less aesthetically pleasing, but it was very interesting because it filled bunker. The bunkers are of stone buildings prepared by Enver Hoxha during the communist dictatorship. It is estimated that the entire country is dotted with about 700,000 of these structures. There are really of all sizes.
As you can see from the photo on the right, we have seen that these were really great. I almost came to doubt that there was someone inside and tried to knock!
;-) Jokes aside, I must say that Albania is full of really nice places, and I hope in future to be able to turn to good. For the rest, Monday I began my routine, Frederick returned to Italy and I have taken possession of my space. My room became a room livable, despite not having even the wardrobe. The office is ready, with two desks and a wardrobe. The only thing missing internet and phone, I hope and trust that by next week everything is active.
to say, I'm slowly adjusting well.
