Letter from Albania: Enver Hoxha's legacy, and the question of tourism

Hi Jeffery,

I'm really enjoying these posts and think that you're capturing your impressions beautifully. Albania sounds like a place worth visiting and caring about. One of my best Peace Corps friends was Albanian. I know her parents had sorrow over their families' loss caused by the need to immigrate to the U.S. in order to have a better, safer life. This reminds me of how some of my adult Somalian and Sudanese students talk about their countries. There's great pride and remorse.
