Owing to a special event that was taking place ,in downtown Durres, we knew we would not arrive on time for our tour. Franco waited for us and then took us around for an enjoyable and informative tour of Durres’ and Albanian history. At the end of the two hours, we were prepared to see if we could find a taxi, although the city was still celebrating high school graduation parties and there was a lot of traffic. Franco generously offered to drive us to our hotel although it was out of the way for him. He went above and beyond the call of duty.
