My Farewell to Europe Tour.

My, possibly, last trip to my place of origin, looking up relatives and friends along the way.

But so what, things could be a lot worse. So I got to thinking that I am not getting any younger and that, if I am ever again going to tour in Europe, I should not wait any longer..."

IMG_2573.JPG When we stopped to pick up some byrek in the morning, this horse came strolling down the road like he knew exactly where he was going. As it turned out, he did! The owner was up ahead and once the horse caught up, he followed right beside the owner like a dog. Elbasan.
