We conducted our conversation in French, with Valdeta's energetic translation. She had been married since age 16 and they had lived in Belgium for some 7 years, where she had always
acted as interpreter for her entire family, consisting of 6 brothers and 3 sisters - of which she was the youngest but tallest.
Upon special request, a roomful of delightful children emerged for photographs. In all, it was a delightful evening which ended with Dad picking Arben and me up to return us to my hotel, where
an embrace by Valdeta's unshaven husband was my final farewell to this fine and most hospitable Muslim family.
