Our Summer's Day
Dear Clea,
Summer's Day is the celebration of the day on which the sun shines down on us, when everybody's holding flowers and sweets. Ironically it is celebrated on the 14th of March though...
I'm pretty sure you have never heard about this holiday, just like you haven't heard of the traditional food "ballokume".
Originally the events and festivals of that day only took place in a city near the capital, Elbasan, where people made some delicious type of biscuits called ballokume. This year I went to Elbasan with my cousin's family. Since my aunt is from there, her relatives had prepared fantastic dishes. The streets were unusually crowded and happy faces could be seen everywhere. Some children held roses in their hands, some others played with colourful kites. The sky was ocean blue and in stead of white clouds, all you could see were plenty of huge gas balloons...Me and my cousins played and laughed all the while and took lots of photos, of course the only thing that stopped us was the battery. There were some concerts too, but unfortunately we didn't get to see any because of the complaints of my younger cousin, Ray.
Anyway, I hope you're having as much fun as I am...
Write to me asap.
Kisses, Wendy ♥
