It is hard to be brave," said Piglet, sniffling slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." Rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "It is because you are a Very Small Animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us.". Sunday, November 28, 2010. I spent a little bit of time adding my reviews to sleepinginairports.n. Thursday, November 25, 2010. I've given a lot of those invitations myself- "when you come to Denver look me up! KL is an interesting city. The skyl...

Check 'em out at: http:/ picasaweb.google.com/cjallo9. Wednesday, June 24, 2009. This morning I went walking up the hill, like I’ve started doing almost every day if possible, listening to podcasts on my ipod. As I was qepem- larte. Lit: sewing myself up] the twisting cobblestone roads, dodging stares from passersby (crazy! She’s walking for fun? I usually have free time from 2-5 where I go home, or maybe meet with people for whatever help they need, or I just try to put in face-time with friends. Mo...

Check 'em out at: http:/ picasaweb.google.com/cjallo9. Monday, June 28, 2010. For anyone who has ever met me, you’d know that food is an important part of my life. Especially in the PC, we tend to talk a lot about foods— some kind of coping mechanism or something, who knows? Raw minced meat salads? And buffalo fat stews? Not my cup of tea…. Cheese and macaroni casserole), dolma. Stuffed grape leaves), musaka. Lamb meatballs), fries, thick yogurt, and 'Greek' salad. But I want to talk about. Of delicious ...

Check 'em out at: http:/ picasaweb.google.com/cjallo9. Sunday, July 4, 2010. Pema e Thate and Plazhi Monastir. I hope to never forget the incredible beaches surrounding Ksamil, only a stone’s throw away from the Greek island of Corfu. Corfu is so near, but our beaches are just as nice. For 4th of July Chris and I made our way once again to the coast – how could we not? 8212;to spend some days in the sun and join other volunteers and friends for a bbq. For now, I’ll take sea and sun. Monastery Beach is on...

Albanian Adventure!: Vetem Vajza (Girls Only)
http://courtneyinalbania.blogspot.com/2010/06/vetem-vajza-girls-only.html
Check 'em out at: http:/ picasaweb.google.com/cjallo9. Friday, June 25, 2010. Vetem Vajza (Girls Only). Recently I spent the weekend with my friend Meghan, on a girls-only vacation. Well, we didn't necessarily mean to exclude our sitemates, but we happen to be girls and we wanted to do things that the boys simply don't enjoy doing. Such as eating a batch of chocolate chip cookies for dinner and watching a Glee marathon. (FYI: I just got a copy of Glee season one and I'm hooked! And want to take nice long...

Albanian Adventure!: October 2009
http://courtneyinalbania.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Check 'em out at: http:/ picasaweb.google.com/cjallo9. Wednesday, October 21, 2009. Festivale Folkloric Kombetare 2009. Well, it was scheduled to occur in 2008, but from what we were told they delayed it until this fall because 2008 was the 100th year anniversary of [the dictator] Enver Hoxha’s birthday. Though I heard afterward that the municipality demanded the hotels to put up the performers gratis, which seems unfair and self-depreciating for the local economy. So typical here! My fellow judges chose...

Check 'em out at: http:/ picasaweb.google.com/cjallo9. Monday, May 31, 2010. Goodbyes, Hellos, and a Pagan Festival. Chris and I headed up to Tiranё again, for a farewell dinner with our friend Patricia. This month the G11ers are dropping like flies, each week it seems 2 or 3 complete their service, boarding flights back to America. Some weeks back I went to Delvine to see Monica off, and Alexi left shortly after. It’s very surreal. Beautiful landscapes of Shqiperia, I will miss it. I slipped on my rainc...

On our way to COS, Chris and I stopped in Cerrik for a few nights with our host family, the Cepa’s. The timing happened to fall near Chris’ birthday, so they planned a little dinner party and once again we got treated to a delicious feast and endless “Gezuars! 8221; with our gjyshja and babi. And our gjyshja’s sister too! Cepa's 2. We fit right in. And can range from pak vaj. When we say Dig in!

Check 'em out at: http:/ picasaweb.google.com/cjallo9. Friday, February 26, 2010. Pop some salted spinach or leeks into the oven on high and they are almost like chips! Meghan and Alexi just after. The last days were especially rough because I went to Delvine for the weekend to celebrate Alexi and Meghan’s birthdays. Monica threw a proper party, cooking up delicious cheese enchiladas, Alexi made a chocolate rocky road cake, Lauren baked cookies, and afterward Mon made a cheesecake. Torture! From there we...
