We didn't attend any of the festivities last year, because one of Terry's co-workers told him that people just go to the parks and throw their plastic bags on the ground. He said "oh, we can do that, we have lots of plastic bags lying around the house!" Actually it was because we had just come back from a trip to Elbasan, were settling into our new apartment, and for all I can remember it was probably raining.
But yesterday was gorgeous out. The traffic was blocked off the length of the main boulevard between Skenderbeg Square and Mother Teresa Square, with live music at one end and vendors selling sweets and meats and balloons and toys the whole length of it.
The kids were a little wigged out by all the people and noise, but Valerie enjoyed running up the side of the pyramid with Terry:
And we had a nice pause by the "twisty slide park" where we often play with the kids. (I don't have any pictures of Gabriel or myself because I was carrying both him and the camera. And then I ran out of space on my memory stick.)
It felt so good to feel the warm sun on our faces.
