Another short weekend in Voskopoje.

Sometimes I think I could live up here, away from the city noise, the pollution, the people… Always man seeks what he doesn’t have, maybe the people in Voskopoje think the same about moving to a metropolis like Tirana… I wish there was some kind of service/agreement for people to swap their lives temporarily, just to see how green is the grass on the other side, without long term commitment.

This is the famous village of Voskopoja as seen from one of the opposite hills. Pretty close to the snowy peaks and the pine forests.47-_IGP834648-_IGP834767-_IGP836069-IMG_1989

Lakror is the traditional dish in Korce area. Two to three thin batters of dough, filled with spinach or squash or tomatoes and grilled meat. It’s delicious and quite famous in Albania.

This one is not a strictly local dish but you can find it all over Albania, home grown chicken on rice. This one is a favorite, I’d choose this any day.

This one is a large monument from the communism time honoring the date the local people formed one of the largest brigades to fight the Germans during WWII and also their fallen comrades. It’s by the main highway from Librazhd to Pogradec but can easily be missed, especially if you’re looking carefully at the many curves of the road.
