Belgrade, Serbia

Belgrade Serbia.  Wow.  I will put more descriptions in this post later.  For now, here are a few highlights.

Jetlag Preston on a city bus

Free walking guides of the city.

Serbian Orthodox church

Graffiti everywhere.  It's not violent or gang related.  it's more about expression and art.

Nikola Tesla museum was super interesting.

Pedestrian area

Sunset walk

Fortress

Ammo chandeliers in fortress church

So fun watching my kids being kids

We were so excited to see that Yugos still exist.  Remember Yugos?!

Republic Square

Serbian mariachi band.

Dog parking is too adorable.

Our hotel.  Clean.  Safe.  Affordable.  About $50 per night.  It was technically an apartment building.  Our apartment was built for Barbie and Ken (not full figured Americans).  haha

 

The room included breakfast but they didn't have a restaurant attached.  So they gave us vouchers to take to a nearby "restaurant."  Here's a picture. It was a pub.  Did I mention that smoking indoors is totally a thing in Serbia?  Ya.  Total culture shock.

Preston kept his mask on almost the entire time.  BTW here's a typical Serbian breakfast:  3 eggs, 2 hotdogs, pickle slices and deep fried cheese.  They did bring me an unsweetened drinkable yogurt with I was hoping was packed with probiotics to help push that dense breakfast through my system.

Graffiti  is a big deal in Belgrade.  It's not violent or gang related.  It's about expression and art.

Temple of Saint Sava (Orthodox Christian)

Indoor market. So many vendors.

Jetlag hit Preston hard.  Even in the middle of our tour.

Watching an important BYU football game (thanks to our buddy, Gregg, for FaceTiming it so we could watch.  Also, watching wrestling matches.  Hooray for technology keeping us connected to our friends and sports.

As we drove past this building, our taxi driver said "ya, you guys bombed that one."
