Both the trip to Albania and the flurry of activity on this travel blog are winding down. With the
concert complete and after an amazing after-party, our producer, Mr. Tullamani, and his family took our remaining American contingent of singers (
Matt Edwardsen,
Thomas Fallon and me;
Joseph Holmes had to head back to Boston to sing a gig) on a trip to Durrës.
In addition to sightseeing, we were treated to the most incredible meal of fresh Adriatic seafood. Phenomenal. As I said in my tv interview, when asked about what I will bring back from Albania, "about 5 extra pounds", as I patted my belly.
A city on the Adriatic Sea, Durrës is a small town where Albanian history is on display. According to
Wikipedia, "it has been continuously inhabited for 2,700 years.
