I felt it would be selfish to not share some important events and things learned from this month. Here goes.

Never underestimate the power of seven girls with lots of pizza.

Albanians like to feed their babies chicken, turkey, and rabbit.

Albanian lice look the same as American lice. Who knew.

Don't put a team of world racers in a dorm room together and expect it to look anything
different than this. Oh hey Santa.

This picture was taken the first day of the World Series. Sam and I knew the Cards had it in the bag.
Karaline still hasn't accepted the loss.

Some people, not naming names here, have trouble keeping their urine in during fits of laughter.


Planking brings us an odd amount of joy.

…and can result in injury.

If you sniff the jelly, they will catch you on camera and make you buy it.

Skirt dancing makes for a good party. Until you fall.

Playing leap frog isn't out of style.

Painting fingernails is just as fun when you are in your 20's.

So are bumper cars.

…and jumping in the sea.

If you chug a 1.5 liter bottle of water, you WILL throw it right back up.

Albanian men have a dance that may or may not be confused with ballet.

Halloween parties are just as fun in Albania.

I am on a team of amazing actresses. Watch for us on Broadway in a few years.

I am still just as scared of heights as I was in America.

Turkish toilets aren't so bad after all. I think it should be part of the training for a strong woman contest.

Old men in parks are very welcoming when you want to play dominoes with them.

Hair dryers are out of style.
