Sunny Albanian Riviera

The snow forecast for today in New York did not materialize, although the surrounding areas are struggling to clean up after a heavy storm that has blanketed for thousands of miles the southern/eastern United States. Washington (DC) was shut down yesterday and practically paralyzed. This is considered its worst snow storm in 90 years.

Meantime, I can't believe my eyes when reading today's report in the travel section of the Los Angeles Times about the writer's visit to Saranda. The displayed picture of this lovely area, considered part of the Albanian southern riviera, where loads of tourists flock to these days, seems a bit too summery since I know that today's weather in that town is in the middle 50's (~12C). Nevertheless, it's heart warming to see it during this long and cold New York winter!
