A sediment problem. (crossing my fingers that it is only sediment)

So we talk about the trash problem in Macedonia, but I think this is a good illustration. This is looking out my bathroom window into a neighbor's backyard.

To Albania!

Last week I got to go to Albania for a few days to work with local NGOs to identify their needs in the community. It was an interesting trip and it was nice to spend some more time in Albania. Unfortunately, the weather was not very good, so I didn't get to spend too much time exploring, but I did get a few pictures.

The project partners. (So an Austrian, Brit, and an Albanian walk in to a local community center...)


The city center of Korca, Albania. Also, the most ambiguous intersection I have ever seen.


The animal auction.

The community church near Anya's in Skopje

Gorce Petrov- holding...? A chicken leg? An important document? A funnel?
