A wonderful sunset on the last day of the year. Tirana, Albania December 31, 2009.
Everyone was getting ready for the big New Year's celebrations. As I've mentioned before, turkey is the meat of choice this time of year. Here two nënë are heading home with their birds still alive and kicking.
It was a bit chaotic at the market. The birds were just flying off the shelves.
Pedestrians have no rights in Albania so you want to stay on the sidewalks. That is if you can find a good sidewalk and you can keep the cars off it. The tall white building on the right in the background is the mission office, 1st Branch chapel and residence of the mission president.
With some of the young adults we also visited a childrens' hospital during the Christmas holidays. From right to left is Ergina, Elsa, Izara, Mom and Marsida. We handed out balloons, candies and sang some Christmas carols.
