Let me tell you a story. I had landed in Albania only 24 hours prior, so a late evening family dinner was testing my jet-lagged social skills. (And I’m not fluent in Shqip (Albanian), but I’m working on it!) This was my first return visit since moving back to the US three years earlier and I was staying with close friends, but I hadn’t met most of their extended family.
