		<title>A Quick Swim in Lake Ohrid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Michael found the beaches in Tushemisht too littered for a comfortable non-repugnant swim, so he seemingly decided to give up on Lake Ohrid. We stopped in quite a few places with better cleaner beaches than Tushemisht; Pogradec was one of these places. But Michael seemed convinced in his decision so I stopped asking him if [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Church of Ristoz &#8211; Mborje, Albania (outside of Korce)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finding the Church of Ristoz, what the local population claimed was the &#8220;oldest church in the balkans,&#8221; was not easy. The people of Korce all seemed to offer generalized directions (&#8220;by the beer factory&#8221; or &#8220;up that way&#8221;) so it took a bit of time and a bit of walking to find it. The mountainside [...]]]></description>
