Digging Durres II
I’ve been working on a three-week archaeological excavation at the Durres amphitheater. I’m working with some Albanian and Italian archaeology students. It’s hot and hard physical labor, but I’m having a great time learning about archaeology, making friends, and sto provando parlare l’italiano. Il scavo e belissimo! Ciao!

Voice Work
Denise and I recorded some tracks for the “Ambri” beginning English language textbook series. Ambri is a made-up island filled bumper to boot with Brits and Yanks. Soon, children all over Albania will be jamming out to tracks like “Practice Numbers.” Listen here: PracticeNumbers.mp3
