Friendsgiving on the coast of Southern Albania

A quick post with a few photos from our recent trip to Vlorë (pronounced Vlora) in Southern Albania. We rented a beautiful villa to celebrate Friendsgiving with a group of Evan's colleagues in a town just up the hill from Vlorë.  The home was gorgeous with a huge kitchen to cook our feast and sweeping views of the coast. Albania continues to amaze us with its untouched beauty. It was a great weekend full of friends, good food and delicious wine. Evan cooked a bacon wrapped turkey that was a hit. We plan to return to the region in the spring to enjoy the beaches.

I'm now planning our Christmas and New Years trip to Vienna, Budapest, Prague and Amsterdam. Details on our holiday trip to come soon. 

If you're ever in Vlorë, we highly recommend staying at Vila Amantia. The place was perfect for a weekend holiday or group outing.
