Highlight of our Albania trip

Wow, what an amazing experience! The food was incredible, the best we had our whole time in Albania. The Eden family home is very charming, and Martin’s mother is the most adorable woman you will ever meet. She makes the most wonderful and tasty food, and plenty of it! And you get to watch her cook and even participate if you want. But equally as good as the food was the wine and conversation with his family and extended family. You get to experience such a rich cultural heritage and immersion. ...read more
