Fun! Fun! Fun!

We had a blast shopping at the treg today.  The treg is a huge open-air market covering several alleyways and blocks.  The booths sell everything you could ever need:  housewares, plumbing and electrical supplies, clothing, shoes (they must looovvvveee shoes here), food, ceramics, linens, furniture.  We bought 5 sheets of cardstock (50 leks). 4 electric plug adapters (100 leks each), one electrical multimeter (600 leks) (it doesn't work). 2 area rugs (1000 leks each), and one set of insoles (100 leks).  These prices included the "American Discount" of course.  We came out of the treg thinking we were right next to our car - but no, we were totally lost.  We had come out on a completely different street quite a distance from where we were parked.  We had to go back into the maze and retrace our steps to find our car.  It was a lot of fun.  And while we were there we met our first bonafide Muslim.  Some fellow noticed our namebadges and started up a conversation (sort of.  He didn't speak English).  Four other men surrounded us and chattered away.  John gave them a passalong card with a picture of Christ on it.  One of the men kissed it heartily, then said "Islam Islam.  Peace.  No terrorists here."  It was great.  I love Albania.  There is a surprise around every corner.
