Arrived in Boboshticë and met a local who gave us grapes.

Discussed the local rakia made from a specific berry that looks like a blackberry.

Explored the area and observed the local gardens with various crops including corn, pumpkins, and tomatoes.

Decided to find a restaurant to try traditional Albanian food and rakia.

Mentioned a restaurant called Villa Melco and expressed excitement to eat there.
