Pajizar

We went to a restaurant near the Albanian border and had lunch with the kindergarten staff. Murita told us about fleeing their village during the war and walking down this road to the border. She said there were 850,000 - 1,000,000 million people on the road. Serb soldiers were lined up on the hills watching them with their machine guns. It was cold and raining but they didn't notice the weather because they were so afraid of what was going to happen to them. Dave said when Murita first came to work for them she couldn't look them in the eye. She would look at the ground when she shook their hands. It is amazing to me that this all happened a short nine years ago.

After lunch the staff wanted to go to the pajzar (flea market) and look around. Everything you can possible imagine for sale. Every other booth was shoes. You'll have to ask Dale about the significance of all the shoes. The Turkish bath was open so we were able to look inside. We ended the day with coffee and ice cream (again!!).
