          We were at the beach at Dhermi this weekend. It was lovely. We were in a small town of a couple hundred people and few tourists. Albanians are interesting in the fact that they don’t get into the vacation spirit until July. We were here even last year at the end of June and there were few people around. 

          The beach was terrific. There wasn’t any sand, but the stones were small enough that a person could walk on them easily. Not being sand, dirt and junk didn’t get into the clothes and shoes.  All was terrific. I went swimming both Saturday and Sunday. The water was cold, but not dramatic. I swam kicking, kicking, kicking, looking back at the shoreline for 20 minutes out and 20 minutes back. The water became dark, dark blue, nearly black and absolutely clean. Wonderful.
