We too get into the hills v quickly from our house. the rds quickly becoem mud & the houses becoem more dilapidated & they all have chickens, goats & dogs roamong around, plus vines & their own veg of course. On some rds up ino tthe hills, bu tno ttoo far, you get the really swanky ove rthe top (I'm sorry but bad taste) Mafia villas. You know wrought iron gates, fountains, pillars, lions heads at the gates (not horses heads;o) )etc. Albania doesn't really do houses to be envious of.....! The views are great tho..Paradise Lost In Translationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08507703496080523959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3519883976018465014.post-84660587604290868852010-02-24T07:53:51.175+01:002010-02-24T07:53:51.175+01:00LOVE the coffee pot.
