Did you know 4.0 (the world we live in)

NATO Day

As we mentioned before, Albania has officially been inducted into NATO. Today was the big celebration day, and we took in all the sights. As you can see....it's a really big deal....


Evangeline really enjoyed her time in the Mei Tie. She was tied to Justin for a long time... :)

Big concert with wannabe rappers...

The NATO nations' flags...
The Boulevard with the University at the end...

two pretty cute kids!





The Center of Tirana...

Dramatic statement...


The classic shot of the Albanian flag next to Skenderbeg (national hero):

Albania Officially Joins NATO

Read the Fox News story here.

I know this was probably on page 17 of your local paper, but this is a big deal here! Albania has made great strides in democracy in the last decade. That doesn't mean they don't still have a looooong way to go, though.
