  • Curt's cousin Mike is getting a taste of van life as we explore an ancient Roman Amphitheater in Durres, Albania. Turns out there is a lot more to this city on the Adriatic coast than just history. Come explore one of Albania's finest northern cities as Snow continues her family and friends tour back in the USA.
    Cheers,
    Snow and Curt

    HEY CURT! The Secret Rescue is a book written about US nurses and medics stranded in ALBANIA IN 1943. The Albanian people helped our nurses escape into Allied territory. I would be very curious if there are any markers or plaques commemorating this event?

      @@AbbysFortitude I also just bought another book.....Half Acre of Hell......about a WW2 nurse who went with the invasion force into N Africa, Sicily, and the W coast of Italy.The medic station on that beach is famously known as hells half acre.

      I am Albanian and I have never heard of this story. I will certainly purchase the book and read it. I don’t think there is any plaque commemorating this event though, the communist government of Albania that came after the WWII did everything to hide any evidence related to the American assistance and cooperation with Albania during the war.

    Wow, that last song, “Die Living” caught me welling with tears. I lost my father in 2020 - a guitar-playing man who loved to roam the open road with my mom. This song fit him to a tee, as it does the two of you nomads!

    So good to see the fishermen using pedalboats in the bay - less pollution from motors equals nicer fish for you to eat in the local establishments! Had never heard of Durres until now, what a great town - and fascinating (loooong) history!

It was also in the big colosseums in rome that they killed all of the Christians. I thought of snow and how she Likes Climbing up and down rocks. No I love seeing what your family does that was very good.I look forward to seeing more about your trip.Next week.

    Hi Snow and Curt
    You are soudig kinda nasally though. but showing the scenery . These countries were established long before America so this is why the people from there are fascinated by history as anyone else I guess. Snow is enjoying her visit back home to see the family and visiting the new additions to the family
    Much love and respect from across the pond in Uk x
