Thursday, we made a quick trip into Ferizaj, and then I was able to make it back to have coffee with the new volunteer from the nearby village. He walked into Kaçanik to the ETC Store, which is like the Target of Kosovo. There is only a small market in his village and he will need to make trips in to Kaçanik frequently. We talked for a bit. It is nice to have a volunteer so close.
Sunday, Danny again walked into Kaçanik to pick up an air fryer. He has semi-independent living arrangement. He lives in a family compound and eats dinner 3 or 4 times a week with the family, but he doesn't have a complete kitchen set up and can't really cook. He is finding that hard, as he did work as a chef at one time, and he likes to cook. We had drinks at the Riverside and then walked through town. We saw Sami's wife as we stopped at the bank, and she was coming out. We also saw Sami and two of his kids waiting in the car.
We had many nice days with good weather, although a couple of days were on the cool side. We weren't able to hike again this weekend as they hiked in North Macedonia. It was alright, as Sunday night was the prom. My good friend, Mirvete, picked me up and brought me home. I enjoyed seeing everyone, including the teachers, so dressed up. I danced a bit and had photos with the students. Unfortunately, the music was too loud to enjoy real conversation, and it was also a school night for many of the teachers. Mirvete and I did not stay too late.
