Belgrade has a number of really beautiful parks, large and small.

Great post, and so true!
I had to laugh at your post today. I used to walk Autumn Eve around our 1/2 mile block each morning. And I always carried a small brown sack and a pancake turner and cleaned up after her. Did that for 13 years. I would love to do it for another thirteen but Autumn passed away in 2006 and I still miss her a lot.
