TWIG Trip to Kruje

http://albca.com/albania/kruje.html

With the skies looking gloomy, about 9 TWIG friends took the hour drive up to Kruje, northern city, most known as the birthplace of Skanderberg, Albania's national hero. It is a city built on a hill, and on a clear day ( which it really wasn't) you can see to the Adriatic. It's also known for it's local craftsmen and tourist attraction for his castle and museum to Skanderberg.
We had a great day, missed most of the rain, and everyone succeeded in finding some trinkets.

  I bought a beautiful Olive Wood bowl, which now holds our wine corks.
