Spectacular!
Hit the town this weekend and did so with style! We had such an awesome time! My planned ménage à twelve didn’t quite go down as wished for but I managed to get close. I think it was a ménage à ten or eleven and sadly Pauline never showed up. But she sent her good family friend Pilsner and Pilsner’s close friends and sisters instead. Turns out they are a great deal of fun too!
As soon as we got into Tirana it started snowing. Not the sleety crap we have had in Reps over the past week but actual snow. Was so awesome to be walking around in it. I love snow. It didn’t take long for snowball fights to break out amongst the youngsters on the street. They were having great time but we determined they had ZERO coordination missing their buddies with the world largest snowball from 2 feet away. Damn it was funny!
We tried out a new bar in town on Saturday. The Tirana Rock Cafe. Very kewl. Kinda like the Irish bar only bigger, with better service and great music including a live band. The DJ could learn to mix his set a little better instead of switching from ACDC - Thunderstruck to Eric Clapton - Layla but at least the music was mainly English and mainly very good rock. Oh and it seems that the smoking ban has been lifted or just ignored which is so typical of this lawless place. One downside to the Rock Cafe. Copious amounts of cigarette smoke and no extraction. My eyes were burning along with my throat and now all my clothes stink! Bleugh!
Yesterday we went for lunch after praying to the beer gods begging forgiveness. They heard our prayers so we went on for round two instead this time we thought red wine was the play of the day. One or two glasses with the meal turned into an unexpected boozy Sunday afternoon. 4 or 5 bottles over lunch just got us warmed up. Back in the hotel for a another 3 or 4 large glasses and then off to a fancy restaurant for the good stuff. I have no idea how much was actually consumed but let me assure you, I was praying to the wine gods this morning begging forgiveness. Up at 5am to check out the hotel at 6am to get back to Reps. Thank God I never had to drive. Thank you Skittles for driving. I slept the whole way back!
Back at work and I’m battling to contain my sheer excitement.
