Albania!
I celebrated Easter with my host family from training yesterday, and that means that I have a little bit of internet time in Elbasan before I have to go back to Kucove. One thing that sucks about that town is transportation. I am close to Berat which is a bigger city, and I can get busses there whenever I want but that means that I have to transfer in a town called Ura something... I have grown to dispise that town because the only times that I am ever there I am standing on a street corner waiting for a bus. There is one bus from Elbasan to Kucove, but at least the timing is convienent.
Easter was a good time with the family. Like any other event with that family we ate so much food and we drank more than I really wanted to. Oh well, what better way to celebrate easter?
I have been having problems with my water in my apartment, and if we ever talk you probably already know about this. I am really REALLY annoyed by this point. A pipe is leaking in my floor into my neighbors apartment. One month and something like six plumbers later, the problem still isn't fixed. I have finally picked up on the hint that my landlords don't want to fix the problem, which leaves me looking for another apartment. That is going really slowly at this point. I just don't want to have to step down into a lesser apartment, but that may be what ends up happening.
I wont write a long blog today, but I think that this is better than no blog which is what I usually do. I have been thinking that I'll write a mass email here in the near future. Maybe I will post that here too.
I should say though, most of the pictures that I have posted on the fliker link were not taken by me. Credit needs to go to those who did actually take the photos:
Juliet
James
John
Joey
Jeanine
Kayla (I think)
Probably some other people
