Another day in Macedonia

We had the opportunity this morning to spend time with the teachers of a local English school. They have close to 50 students... all adults in their 20's or 30's. It was great to hear about their work and investment in young Macedonians.

Skopje is where Mother Theresa was born. This afternoon we took time to visit a museum of her life and also the location where the house where she was born would have once stood. Even though Mother Theresa didn't live much of her life here (she later moved to Albania), the Macedonians are proud of the fact that their country is her place of birth. We walked around the city, visiting the Turkish markets and an old Orthodox Church.

Tonight we met at the English school where several of the English students gave us a presentation on their Easter traditions. They did a great job! The Orthodox Church celebrates their Easter this Sunday. We hung out with them for over three hours just getting to know them while they practiced their English. They even taught us one of their traditional dances.

Well, we close up our day at the hostel we've been staying at while here. Tomorrow morning we make our way to Kosovo. Pictures below of the ruins at Philippi during our time in Greece.
