Albanian Adventures

Today part of the group shared in an Albanian adventure. This afternoon Kyla, Lisa and myself (Kurt) went swimming at one of the local pools. The pool happened to be about 45 minutes out of town. The road to get there was only one lane (mainly dirt). The mode of transportation was a two-passenger truck, but it had a bed which could hold between 10-20 people. On this trip I believe we had 12 max. Needless to say this experience was like none other. We had to stop once and push because we didn't have enough traction and we also over heated too.
Once we got to the pool I had one of the most brisk swims in my life. The water comes straight from a river.
This was a nice time to bond with the Albanian staff. Tomorrow we will bond with 120 Albanian kids. We cannot wait!
