Miracle Water...Glina Mineral Water

During my first visit to Tirana, Albania a friend shared with me an amazing new secret.

Glina mineral water, when consumed with a meal that has
extra fat content...will allow the fat to just be washed right out of your system.

No longer do you have to worry about the fat that french
fries are cooked in...Glina mineral water will wash it away.

The cost of this amazing water...40 lek. 
(that's about 40 cents)

Breakfast in the Balkans

Each morning while I was staying at 
the Risto's Guest House, I was treated to a different amazing breakfast.

Today it was leek pita, meats and feta cheese, tomatoes, a marmalade pancake, bread and a boiled egg.  Oh yes....Nescafe.

The one thing that you can't see that 
made this breakfast special was the fresh morning air of the village, the donkey "braying", or the bells on the goats. There was also a wonderful view of Lake Ohrid.

Macedonian Alarm clock...

While staying at a guest house near Ohrid, in a small mountain village, each morning the guests were treated to the "braying" of the little donkey just across the path.  

7:20-7:30 am.

I would also hear this little guy at other times during the day, but it always made me laugh each morning.  

It is part of the charm of staying in a 
village...

Progress in Kosova's highways....

The typical road in the midst of the highway construction...
really slow, really rough

Notice the 130kph speed limit, about 80mph

This highway is nice, it is beautiful.  Amazing progress...!!!

Well, there are still cows crossing the highway.
Some things may never change...
