Next Day

We woke up early.  Abby headed off to work at 7:30 AM, and I left the house around 8:30 AM.  The plan had been to buy a newspaper, spend an hour or so sipping an espresso at one of the kafes, and make my way leisurely to the Embassy to check e-mail and otherwise see what was going on.  Then I wouldthink of something else to do (all of our books and other household goods still being in transit, I don't have a lot of options).  And after 6 hours of walking the streets of Tirana and sitting in cafes, I realized something very important: there is a big difference between leisure and indolence, and if I don't find regular work soon, I'm going to go out of my mind.
