Belgrade Serbia, Pictures


The picture is of me at a kiosk on the street that was selling only pantyhose. I thought it was a little random as there were no other kiosks in the area.

Spent the day walking around Belgrade Serbia with Michaela from Sweden. Again pleasantly surprised. The guide books say “Belgrade is not a beautiful city.” Well I guess they comment on so many that some have to be “not so beautiful,” but it was good. Enjoyed walking around. Lots of nice buildings and a lot of people who speak English. Great markets, really cheap veggies and bakeries. Had a feed of yellow beans tonight mom, reminded me of you, dad and the garden. It was nice to use the hostels kitchen and cook a nice meal of yellow beans and pasta.

Not as an eventful day as yesterday.

We happened upon an international parade with people dressed in their traditional costumes. Not sure what it was about but then they broke into dances in the square. It was neat to see. Came across some Military buildings that were bombed during the war in 1999 and left the way they were hit. The largest Orthodox Church in the world is in Belgrade so we visited that too and a fortress. Overall a pleasant day.
