You may have seen that Tuesday was International Women's Day! It's a really big deal here in Albania so we try to do something special for the ladies of our village (and many asked me again how we celebrate in America). This year Shpresa organized two vans to take a group of us to a hotel on the sea in Durres for pizza.
You know how nice it is just to have a change of scenery. Even for pizza some of the women got all dolled up with their hair done, pulling out the heels and pantyhose (I was not one of them, ahem).
The restaurant which hosted us was on the top of a 7-story building. Funny how weird it felt to be up so high! The glass elevator to the top was an event in and of itself!
Of course it's not a party without dancing, even if it means asking the servers to turn up the volume and move a few tables to make room for us.
Of course, the view was also a treat!
Lots of mothers and daughters!
And sister in the Lord!
Of course, my alternate title is glamour photographer, didn't you know? Which I don't mind because it means I don't have to worry about twisting an ankle on the dance floor.
But seriously, it's a lot of fun...
And one last pic just to prove I was there.
Special thanks to all the Dads and men who held down the fort for a few hours!
