Sorry about the lack of posts, our team has been doing quite a bit of travelling. Last Friday we left our dear little town and headed to Lezhe, Albania. There we visited with some families who we know. We spent three days climbing mountains, exploring an old castle, and strolling up and down the beach. It was a really refreshing time. I was especially excited. I spent eight months in Lezhe in 2003, so the streets and faces were all familiar to me. I was able to reconnect with some friends and my old host family. I have never before experienced the feeling of going back to a place that has meant so much to me, my heart was so full.
We left Lezhe on Monday, and got back home for one night to shower sleep and leave again. This time our destination was the capitol city, to join in a nation wide project. Every day this week we have gathered with about 35 to 150 people from all over the country to do some community service, things like picking up trash, and visiting the poor and elderly. It has been a really good week getting to know a lot of new people. I have been so thrilled to meet all these young people who are eager to make changes, and to see their brand new nation start off on the right foot. I can see that they truly value their freedom and Independence.
Tomorrow morning we are heading off for our third destination, Thessaloniki, Greece. I hope it will be a relaxing week. This is my first time planning a vacation, I don't feel so relaxed. Then after two and a half weeks on the road our travelling marathon will end and we will finally return to our own little town.
