Immersion Trip: Day 7

Good Lord, I am the worst blogger ever ... today's June 3 and I'm still on April 20.

Today we visited two outdoor markets.  The second market is the village market (Treg Fshatari) where they had the most amazing food - gorgeous fruits and vegetables, and fresh meat.  You know the meat is fresh because the butcher puts the skinned head of the unlucky donor on the counter ...  Note the old-fashioned scale in the second photo.

I spent the rest of the day meeting people, and then went to the Marine House for happy hour where I met more people.  The night ended with dinner at King's House, this time with all sorts of ex-pats.  This is a weekly event.  In addition to us, there were people from Bulgaria, Finland, England, and probably some other countries, but we didn't meet everyone, and after the raki I probably wouldn't have remembered anyway.
