Picture: Bridge Jumping

Struga has a (clean) river running through the center of town with about 5 bridges spanning it. A favorite summer pastime among local adolescent boys is to jump off the bridges. Of course, as Peace Corps Volunteers, we are supposed to participate in local customs, so we MUST jump off the bridges as well. On this particular day it was unseasonably cold, so I decided to put off jumping for another time. Here you see Chandra, Kaitlin, Adam, Josh and Alex taking the plunge off the highest bridge.
