Eclectic stories from Albania Part III: Laura

Ohhh Laura. boy does this one have her lists of awkward moments and odd happenings. From all the taxi drivers that weasled her out of about twice the normal taxi fare, the attention she drew from numerous odd strangers (Albanian man pretending to be lost from the UK, the supposed relative of a politician with his...unusual... tendencies and even more awkward/forward comments/advances to laura, etc...)...part was not her fault for having to live alone from the rest of the group, though jon would blame most of it on her touristy-ness or, in my opinion also, the lovely approachable & friendly air that makes laura herself.

Surely there is story after story that i could tell, which would certainly make this blog post "scroll"... ;) But instead i will end it with a comment from Roger, one of the missionaries in Albania, who seems to have such a concise and humorous way of summing things up.

Roger put it so very perfectly,

"We miss you over here. On one hand by 'we' I mean those from our team & church and by 'you' I mean all of you from the TMC team.

On the other hand, by 'we' I mean all the male misfits, social outcasts, and all-around weirdos and by 'you' I mean Laura."
