    During our 1988 trip across Albania, we had an Albanian guide in second who was a forestry ingeneer. He had with him a superb flora 600 pages of Albania “Flora ekskursioniste e Shqiperise”. When we were back to Tiranė, I asked our French speaking Albanian guide to help me get a copy of it. We visited half a dozen bookshops. They all had shelves loaded with the works of Enver Hoxha, of Marx and Engels but the Flora was out of print. We finally found a book shop that had one copy of this marvelous flora that I use each time that in the Balkans, I have a plant that I cannot identify otherwise. Of course, I had to buy Fjalor Frengjisht-Shqip and Fjalor Shqip- Frengjisht (dictionaries) in order to be able to use it.

    What To Buy: Flora ekskursioniste e Shqiperise

     Excellent overview of Albania with lots of stunning images. Butrint, Albanian Riviera, Appolonia, Durrėsi and Tirana certainly look wonderful and interesting to visit and explore. Thanks for the virtual tour. ~ho & pang    		BruceDunning Fri Jul 31, 2009 23:45 UTC

     Outstanding then and now page. I was mesmerized by your 1988 photos, lifting the veil so to speak on the 1980s Albania. Very interesting.    		Mikebb Fri Jan 16, 2009 05:24 UTC
     Albania looks as though it has not changed much during the 20th century. In this modern world international cities look much the same. It is nice to see a country retain its lifestyle.
