One of the best parts about being stationed in Prizren is that there are several Peace Corps Volunteers in the neighboring villages. Sometimes, when they are able, they come into Prizren on Saturdays to spend the day in the city. We met a handful of weeks ago and have tried to keep our Saturday tradition of drinking, eating, and sharing stories of the ridiculous things that happen to us. They are such a great break from the craziness of everything else going on, and our meetings have helped kept me sane in the face of frustrations. They are also great exploring partners, and I have seen many different parts of Prizren from our wanderings.
The PCVs are some of the best people I've met in the past few months. Their dedication and passion for their Peace Corps work is amazing. I don't know if I would have the strength or character to commit to spending 27 months in a small village in an unknown area of the world. I am lucky to have met such intelligent and courageous souls.

You can tell which one is me (above) from the little bun poking out.
