Bathorë, Kamza, Albania

Asking for directions by means of showing photographs of old friends! When I asked a policeman in this way, he stopped a passing motorist and ordered him to lead us to my friend's house! These guys at this café didn't even wait to be asked, but beckoned me over to see what assistance I needed. I love Albania.

This photo is from the set "Albania — Jane's photos", all of which are from the Aid Convoy preliminary trip to Bathore / Kamza, near Tirana, Albania, where we resurrected our project there.

This set – readily identified by the lack of a black border around each photo – shows photos not taken by me, but by my colleague Jane. I don't normally upload other people's photos but these are here to complete the story when seen in conjunction with mine (with black borders), in the "Albania 2010" set.
