How I Began My Summer Vacation

One last day sunning myself and splashing around at the Embassy pool with my friends, one last BBQ saying good-bye to teachers who are leaving us, one last walk in the park..... I'd love to say that this is how I spent my last day in Tirana before leaving for the summer holidays. Ha! This is more my reality: Curled up under a comforter even though it's a least 90 degrees outside, doubled over in pain as my stomach rages within me, trying desperately to drink some Sprite (thanks Amy for delivering me some!). Yep that's right. My students gave me a memorable parting gift... the stomach flu. Good news is, it's only the 24 hour type so I should be recovered in time for Rome. Let's hope.

O you poor thing . . . nothing worse than the flu! Feel better soon! Hey-Maybe your "skinny" pants will fit in Rome!

I am sorry to hear that Holly, what a bummer- those little rascals, they have a way of doing that!

Did you get my email?? Should I plan something on the night of July 9th, let me know asap (when you are feeling well enough to check your blog!) so I can send an evite out before it's too late! Thanks girl!
