Les took us on a tour of Belgrade this afternoon. We walked down the pedestrian shopping street and into the old fortress area, really a big park with exterior and interior brick walls leading to the center of the complex behind REALLY thick walls and gates with a beautiful view of the Saba River and the Danube, where the rivers flow together. You can see the clear water mixing with the browner siltier water.
We met Tijana Les’s significant other and had drinks and lunch.
She is really nice. Les is lucky to know her. Then Marko, Les’ 19 year old son, came, but I forgot to take a picture of him. I will tonight because we are all going to meet up again to see the waterfront of the Danube and have dinner. He is going to study computer science in Delft in the Netherlands, starting in August.
Les speaks Serbian really well, it is so cute to listen to him having long conversations in Serbian. He seems to know a lot of people in Serbia, too. At the cafe next to the tennis courts where Les used to play, the owner greeted him and us warmly and brought over some sausages and pita bread to go with the drinks. Larry is continuing to sample brandies.
Now we are back at the hotel, and Larry has fallen asleep. We will soon go out again!
