25th. OCTOBER 2010 COMMUNITY MEETING AND DAJTI EKSPRES
We met with Sr. Daniela on Friday in Tirana for an evaluation meeting. Our setting was a little unusual. We got a quiet area in a restaurant where we were left in peace! We finished with a look at the future and Sr. Lalini's appointment as Co-Ordinator for another year. Our day ended with a very pleasant visit to a Chinese restaurant.
Saturday seemed ideal to all of us for a visit to Mother Teresa's Exhibition for her special year. We discovered, however, that she had packed up and gone 'home' to Skopje, Macedonia! I have heard since that the exhibition was very small - showing just Mother Teresa's rare visits to Albania and without reference to her global role.
A new plan emerged for us quite quickly, with Mirjam at her computer! Off we set with a handrawn map! We took the Dajti Ekspres to "where the earth meets the sky". In fact, we had a glorious morning in a National Park on the summit of a mountain range very close to Tirana. There was just one slight 'glitch'. When we gathered to take the return Cable Car, we were told there was a power cut! Luckily, with the help of a generator, it was brief. We made the airport in record time for Daniela's plane.
Special thanks to all who were in touch over the past week with Waterford details.
