Montenegro

This is me at the Madonna concert in Montenegro. This was quite a while ago, but I'm not always the best at getting things up especially pictures. The most that I can say about Montenegro is that it was a long bus ride to see about half of a Madonna concert. The border wasn't really prepared for the thousands of Albanians and a few random Americans who would descend upon it at the chance to see the Material Girl. So much so that most of my pictures are from the border not from the actual concert. But it was fun to be with friends.

We had a good time on the bus, there were a handful of PCV's and when we all started to get rather hungry at hour nine of the bus ride, we jumped off the bus and ran into a local shop and grabbed some cookies and crackers for the group. It was my only cultural interaction.

But it was an experience and as they say, half the fun is the journey.

Guilty Pleasures

I visited the nicest grocery store in Durres and they had avocados. Fast forward one hour. I had delicious homemade guacamole. We ate it on potato chips, but it was still melt-in-your-mouth amazing.
