With Bruna in Tirana

It's warming up here in Albania... but the landscape is lovely. David, Bruna and I went to Tirana for lunch, at a restaurant that serves American-style food. Many English-speaking missionaries frequent the restaurant, and I was amused at the odd feeling it gave me to understand the conversations at the tables around us. I'm used to tuning out Albanian chatter! Then we walked around window shopping for several hours. It was a nice, relaxing day.

(In answer to your questions, Grandma, yes, Bruna is a girl from the church, one of the translators (the Pastor preaches in English). She is also David's girlfriend. Tirana is about 35 minutes by van. You pay the equivalent of $1 for a one-way ride in a van with around 12 other people. It's better than the bus option.)

  2. Bruna looks like she could be a good friend - even after you leave Albania!
