Joe,
It was up to Peter to buy, at last, new glasses!!! They will not help him just to read your total Meshuganehs posts, but also not to mess up any natural beauty with geographical directions! When one helps other in way you helped Peter, we Serbs say: HE MADE YOU JUST BEAR`S FAVOR :) ... I am sure this doesn`t make any sense in English, just because Serbian bears are also Meshuganehs, but that means: it was in your favor if he didn`t help you :) ...
I enjoyed your journey so very much. Now I am seriously studying how to copy and paste this black hole (if Jim and Thomas can help me, I`ll really appreciate :) ) to take all of you to Belgrade. Today is one of those Crazy Serb`s Days !!!!
Becoming a Christians, in 11th century, Serbs wished to sustain some of customs from our paganism, so, each family celebrate their holy patron. Today a lot of Serbian families celebrate St. Archangel Michael. St Nikolaus, St. John Baptist, St. Georgie's and St. Archangel Michael are the biggest celebrations here, and families that do not celebrate, go and celebrate with those who`s patron comes with his day.
Lilly, Luka and I will go today from party to party. I wish you can imagine how it looks like !!!!! Each table is rich with deliciouses from our national kitchen .... and lot of drinks ... alive musics .... and all this will last until early morning hours. And tomorrow ... is the second day ... so, families we missed to honor by our visits today, will expect for us tomorrow. LOL!
I raised up at Catholic world, and still I am not enough familiar with this spirit and customs, but it really can be funny and great.
Specially because I am crazy for dance and musics ... If you find a way to copy and paste this black hole .... you will be welcomed and will surely have a great time!
Peter, don`t be thrifty and buy a new at last.
Crazy dancer`s hugs to all!
