On to the next place
Thursday March 19, 2020 🇦🇱💖🇦🇱
It continues to be beautiful here in Albania. Soon my computer will die and I wont be able to use it anymore. Somewhere along the way I lost it. I think in Greece. It will be ok though. On Sunday March 15th I stayed isolated in my room all day. That was along day. At this time I have not been able to watch TV and I only listen to music very little. I have no desire to watch TV so i just stroll through my facebook and twitter and read the latest updates. On Monday March 16th I moved to an apartment from the hotel I was staying at. Talk about complete luxuroy. It is so beautiful here and next to the sea. I still have very little contact with people. Good to keep my distance though. After I got settled into the new place that I booked for 3 days. I went down to get grocieries from the supermarkets. It is a 15 minute walk, but it is beautiful. I cooked a large dinner this night it was so nice to finally cook. Id been at the hotel for 5 days and was not able to cook.
On Tuesday March 17, 2020 a special day. I took another long walk admiring the community here in Durres, Albania. I do need to get some sunscreen as this sun is beautiful. I Use my sweater sometimes to cover up. It is very obivious that I am not from here its 60 degrees sometimes a little warmer and almost everyone is wearing coats. I get so hot ill be in a t-shirt while walking. The restrictions here are to be indoors by 18:00 which is when it gets dark. There are threats that you will get a fine here if you are out after 18:00. So thankfully for social media being able to connect with people around the world and family back home. Many are very scared and worried. I know my mother is watching over me and the angels and lord above. I broke my phone today I was very upset over that. However I had freinds and family that helped me to stay positive and luckily I brought my tablet with me.

I slept great woke up and made a wonderful breakfast and packed the left overs in a bag to carry with me while walking. While walking i had a pretty good conversation in Albanian with an older gentlemen. I didnt understand alot but it was great. I met with someone for another airbnb place to stay. Looking forward to moving to the next place. There are more shops open today and I see lines at some of the banks. I found a phone place and was waiting in line to talk to them about a phone. This older gentlemen started to talk to me asking me if I was from Switerzerland because of my back back. He spoke very little english. He started speaking to me in Albanian and some broken english. I told him I was looking for a new phone because I broke mine. He told me not here to go to another shop. Then he took me to the shop where I was able to get a new phone. Then I went back to the phone store and set up a plan for here in Albania so I could get a number so I could us Whatsapp. You have to have a working number to use this app. I got a very good deal on a phone. As phones tend to be more expensive here in Albania. Maybe I think because of the taxes? I walked back to the apartment and set up the wifi and downloaded alot of my apps. I do not want to use my internet to download stuff. I only get a certain amount of usage. And i think it is 400 minutes to talk and 400 text messages. From my understanding there is not unlimited like with have in the States. It was 500 Lek to get a sim card and 1500 Lek for a monthly phone plan. In USD together that is about $18. after I downloaded stuff I reached out to my boys. And then took a walk along the beach. Came back in and video chatted with my boys, they are doing good. I am definelty eating alot more especially with being stuck inside hahaha and having food to eat.

Good morning world It is almost 10 am here in Albania. I am packing up and getting ready to head to the next place. I thought I should sit down and write as its been a few days. I just booked the next place for 3 days but I do have the option of paying cash and booking longer if needed. The family donates to a community here in Albania less then 200 km away from Durres. A very rural and poor area. I look forward to learning more about this and plan to make a donation as well. Here there are many stray animals that wonder the streets and sleep everywhere. I have not had any come at me defensivly as I am a bit scared of dogs since I have been bit a few times. I guess my guard is up more now. Here and in Greece they have all been sweet. Many are hungry it is sad. There is a group trying to help the local animals here I found one one of the websites that i was able to donate a few dollars to. From what ive seen they do not bother the people here much. It is hard to tell what the normal is around here since we have been on a lock down basically since I have been here. Well I should hurry and finish so I can save my battery a little longer.
Until next time all my love.
