Friday afternoon: Met Klevis Cane, a graduate student at Nehemiah Gateway University in Pogradec, Albania. Less than 24 hours later I was hiking with Klevis and four of his Albanian friends through the mountains to a glacial lake. At 6 am Saturday morning, we all piled into a van and drove about an hour on a paved road followed by an hour and a half on a dirt/gravel road. We pulled into a small village in the mountains and proceeded to begin our hike further up the mountain.
