Having not written anything for a while, it's hard to catch up on all the travel and adventures that have happened over this last busy month. However, it suffices to say that I've had a memorable summer thus far and am sad that it's coming to an end. I traveled to one of the most northern cities of Albania, Bajram Curri, and went to one of the most south, Ksamil. In between, I've taken this summer to fish a lot and visited Vuno (again) and Shengjin, both to go sea fishing.
During July, I worked with a group of foreigners to renovate an old water mill outside of Peshkopi. We planted pine trees, built a bridge over the river, paved paths, and worked to rebuild the interior as well as the mill itself. With the same group, we explored Grezhdan castle by Peshkopi, climbed Korabi (the tallest mountain in Albania, second in the Balkans), and hiked all over Peshkopi.
Today's title comes from my favorite song on Mac DeMarco's new album, Another One. When I listen to full albums, I like stuff that I can casually enjoy without concentrating too hard, and, for this, Mac DeMarco has been something of a soundtrack in the background of my Peace Corps experience.
