Confused???


Ok, here you are reading along and I am meeting with the President, and next thing you know, I am rambling on about being somewhere and you have NO idea of what I am talking about because I so neglected to post where I was headed...  sorry.  Let's backtrack just for a minute.  I mentioned going back to the Villa where Sarah had been staying, and we hung out there until about 2 pm when Sashka (our favorite travel agent!) came and picked us up.  We dropped off Sarah at a restaurant, and said our last good byes to her, as she is headed back to the good ole USA on Sunday.  Sashko then took Niecy and me to the bus station where we boarded a luxury bus headed for the most beautiful town in all of Macedonia...  Lake Ohrid.  Everyone we talked to in Macedonia had asked if we

had been there yet, and since we had not, they ALL said that is was a mandatory visit.  They boasted about a 3 million year old lake that was surrounded by the most serene and green landscape.  Nestled in the valley of huge mountains, Lake Ohrid is touched by Macedonia on 2/3's of its shores, while 1/3 reaches Albania.  Anyway, our bus was big, bright yellow, and very comfortable.  The trip,  through

the beautiful countryside, then mountainous areas was simply breath taking.  We made one stop, and Niecy and I didn't think we were very hungry, but went in anyway and the shop had a wide variety of bread, and they were JUST pulling out a fresh batch of what looked like Indian fry bread, so Niecy and I quickly ordered 2, and just as quickly chowed down on them. Oh my!  Just give me a little honey and powdered sugar!  Delish!  We arrived in Lake Ohrid and were picked up by a prearranged driver who took us to our amazingly beautiful  private apartment.  We quickly checked in, dropped off our stuff, and headed

 out to check out this quaint and pristine town.  We walked along the water, checked out the boats, heard this strange sound almost like a duck, or chickens clucking, and it ended up being frogs!  So funny.  We bought a bottle of white wine, and 2 gyros for dinner and took them up to our balcony (which overlooks the entire town square, and ate our dinner in the cool evening as the day ended.  Tanja and Toni will drive up on Sunday to meet us and spend the day before taking us back home...  now, ya get the picture?
