Belgrade, Serbia October 2009

  

Downtown Belgrade. Former capitol of Yugoslavia. This is a very large, vibrant city with many old communistic buildings and lots of history.

This hotel was right across from where we stayed. It is called Hotel Moskva (Moscow) and it has been a major landmark in Belgrade since it opened in 1908.

This picture is of me and a Serbian woman named Violetta. She was doing a photo display in the Kalemegdan park. We had fun talking to her (she spoke English which was nice for me). We ended up buying the book she was selling which was a book of beautiful photos of Serbia by her brother in law. He had worked for many magazines and papers including National Geographic.
