The Calvary has arrived

When Joe fails to update his blog we pester, we admonish, we condemn. When it has gone too long without a substantial update - we replace. I, Katie, will take now take charge of his wayward journal and tell the stories how they should be told. I'll also do my best to get his butt back into shape and writing again so that we simple folk in America can once again live vicariously through his wacky developing world adventures.

Tonight we had a dinner party with Joe's neighbors and we drank, we chatted and they (maliciously, we feel) wished 5 children upon us. After more bottles of wine than are advisable we spent the night gossiping through a translator about life, family and the continuing friendship between Albania and America. They're wonderful people (apart from their ill-intended wish for more kids then we ever want) and I'm enjoying the sights, sounds and people of Joe's adopted homeland.

More adventures to come!
