Wednesday Morning, August 17th

Last Friday we and Maya and her niece Helena took a 5 hour bus trip to Zlatibor, a mountain resort area near the border with Montenegro.  We went there to visit our Montenegrin friend Adriana, her husband Nikola and their 3-year-old son Karlo.  They were visiting Nikolas mother Jovanka and father Blavo who have a home near the resort, in a town named White Lands, so named because the earth there is a light grey color.
 
We had a nice time visiting with these folks, and the kids had a grand time at the resort.

Sunday we visited a restored village named Sirogojno, near Zlatibor,  that had been occupied as late as the early 1900's.

We came back to Belgrade on Monday (another long bus ride) and just rested the rest of Monday and Tuesday. See the photos of Zlatibor at

We are going to be in Belgrade through Sunday, and expect to take a day cruise on the Beautiful Blue Danube on Friday.  We'll post again when we have the time.  YAZOO!
