It's been warm lately in Albania. Last year, the double-overcoat and long underwear weather seemed to last continuously from December to late February. Instead, this year has been warm for the past few weeks, and, outside of Peshkopi, I can get by with just a sweater.
Now, my Peace Corps service is definitely winding down. Most of my project have been wrapped up and I plan to coast as much as possible these last few months, savouring the experience of Albania. Last week, I went fishing for the first time in 2016 and plan to go a whole lot more during the coming months!
Briana Marela's "Take Care of Me" is a song that one of my Peace Corps friends recently suggested to me. Definitely up the alley of the stuff I've been listening to here, and it felt great to have a friend notice such fitting tune for me.

The cave. We walked about 400 meters into the cave with headlamps and turned off our lights at the end to feel the dark quietness. A bear skeleton was found inside 30-40 years ago, so we felt happy to have the dogs around just in case.
