We woke in a leisurely way — kind of works well when we are now with others, including some children! After a bit of time we had our coffee (“mocha” here in Kosovo doesn’t mean chocolate and coffee, btw.) and shortly after we ate outside for breakfast.
Eventually we headed out, for to the town of Peja, where we walked a bit (including a mosque) and eventually had lunch, and then we headed to the mountains. I’d love to tell you what the place was called but I can’t remember! I can tell you it took eons to get through and park: the line of cars getting in and those attempting to get out was a bit of a mad house. We had two cars and we ended up in different locations but we managed to connect and walk up on a path. What a huge crowd! I guess everyone in the area heads to this place on a weekend. But we had a nice walk, and then went back to a place right there for dinner. Believe it or not … I ate too much! I know that comes as a complete surprise.
When we got back to the house we were greeted but a number of people already there and so we ended up sitting around a table outside. There was a lot of conversation of which I could understand virtually nothing! It’s interesting to be the outsider as I am. Dan can catch bits of sentences and figure out what they are talking about, but I sure can’t. Ah well. I can smile. I can nod my head. And I can enjoy that they are enjoying each other’s company!
Now to bed with me. I’ll post photos below —







































I assume those adorable children are your great nieces and nephew?
These are Vanessa and Avni’s children, yes.
