Tropical Belgrade

You can have the best of both worlds, or sort of, here in Belgrade. Visit one of the city's floating bars or restaurants, many of which offer a view of the city. How about "Karibi," which, after a few shots of rakija or šljivovica (RAH-kee-yuh/SHLEE-vo-veet-sa), local brandy/plum brandy, just might make you imagine you're in the tropics. You'll feel warmer anyway.

SOUPE À L'OIGNON GRATINÉE

 I think all my Paris pictures are going to be of food. Above is onion soup gratinée and below some crispy french fries with herb mayonnaise...
