For the past week we've had a friend from home! On the spur of the moment she offered to come to Albania when my parents couldn't and she came bearing gifts. Awesome, sweet, tangible tastes of love from home.
She played legos. She scrubbed mold. She reconnected with old friends (this is her 4th visit to Albania in 16 years). She did a mean Donald Duck impersonation (repeatedly, once our children learned she held this special talent). We stayed up late and talked.
She visited homes while we took photos and delivered canvases (including to her partner family in the village -- how cool is that?)
She tried new fruit (ftua, anyone?) and drank cups and cups of Turkish coffee.
Our time flew.
As I type she's no doubt buckled in her seatbelt preparing for take-off.
Come back again, Kristi! It was wonderful to have you here!
