Hello folks,
I am sitting here in Tirana. With a little bit of computer time I wanted to type a quick and probably short blog.
First off, while I am thinking about it I wanted to post a link with some phots that I posted on Flickr.

They will only let me post 200 photos which kind of sucks. I found this out after I had already loaded the photos and didn't have time to post more before I left. It will probably be a while, therefore, before I will have the opportunity to post more photographs. I wish that I had taken more photos while I was home, but I didn't.
Home was really great. I think that I wrote about most of the stuff that I did while I was there. I just wanted to reiterate that fact. I didn't expect to see so much family while I was there so that was good. Nor did I expect a blizzard and that was kind of cool too.
The trip back was fine. I made it back to Albania but it was kind of hard to readjust. It was the little things like the lack of power and water, among other things that really hit me and kind of pissed me off for the first few days that I was here. In my town we currently go for ten hours without power (8am to 4pm and then again from 6pm to 8pm). Its really annoying. I had kind of adjusted to the water thing (I usually have it for around 6 hours a day) but it was really annoying coming back to that when at home I could shower whenever I wanted (and in a warm bathroom too). Oh well though, I am currently in the process of readjusting again.
I didn't have a chance to stock up on everything that I wanted to get while I was home, so I am gratefully having my mom send out another care package with some vital items. I think that being home I only noticed the things that I miss here.
I will hopefully continue to post regularly.
