I thought so too. I’m going to shop around for some leggings like that when we get back to Portland.

That is, indeed, a handsome cricket!

Wonderful photos, videos, and descriptions. The similarities with South Dakota are uncanny! Well - except for the absence of large RVs in Albania.

Very cool that some of the people there are open to you taking their photos.

Also, I can relate to using the weather forecast as the taskmaster. ;0)

It was a stunning day, alright; as was every day in Albania, really. Knowing what I know now, I would have shaved some days elsewhere (we’re looking at you, Corfu) and spent more time here.

We’re both ready for a breather, alright, but I’m really going to miss this tour. I hope we can find th legs to pass this way again some year.

Loved the videos - they give a great feeling of the ride. Glad you captured the goats, too.
What a stunning day. I look forward to the daily reports. I'll be sorry when your ride is over although I'm sure you will enjoy a respite.

I know. The geology here is incredible. I think of you often, wishing you were here as an interpreter.

Ooh, I love the layering in those rocks!

Haha, nothing to it!!

There's a pattern here...

Hey! I’d given up on anyone identifying this. Thanks!

We’re almost done, and fly home a week from Friday. Should be an exciting last week - thunderstorms are predicted for every day until we depart.

Love to the girls. We’ll give a call when we get home.

Looks like a Condylactis anemone. They are native to Greece and other sub-tropical climates.

Oh, and humid. Let’s not forget that it was also humid.

So are you saying it was hot?

Yup. It’s a bit of a problem. The cap loosened on our lubricant and it all leaked out, and we haven’t seen a bike store since. Guess we’ll just squeak to the finish line and get new chains when we return home. Lucky it’s been so dry!

Um. I wasn't going to say anything, but the cricket is right.
