A thousand words

We've talked on the phone and over skype about the"walk abouts" the people here in Vlore do every night and tried to describe how the sidewalks a full of moving people.  But to save a few thousand words of description I thought I would try to drop a video of this activity into this blog. ....  (I think I could have typed a thousand words in the same amount of time it took to upload this video).

I was thinking about adding a video of the New Year's fireworks but it is way too big to fit here.  Sufice it to say they had fireworks all around the bay.  We could see them all from our balcony.  The ones that were set off just below us on the dock were magnificant.  Better than watching them from Adams Field because we are 6 stories high.  What I'm trying to say is they exploded right in front of us.
