Impressions of Belgrade and Serbia and maybe photos from an in-country trip by a long-term ex-pat.

Coffee and cake
Went over to my friend Nena's place the other day, and she offered me a cup of Turkish coffee and some of her homemade fruit and nut cake. All I can do for you is offer you a photo....but I hope you will enjoy it!
Turkish coffee ROCKS! I don't subscribe to the terminology like "Serbian coffee" (or "Greek coffee" for that matter). It is what it is - Turkish coffee.
Excellent photo - I cup is so pretty, the cake with the walnut table looks rich and yummy. Does that bring back memories! "kafu mi draga ispeci, bas ko da je draga duso za tebe..." I have a recording of my grandma & I singing that in 1986 - a treasure. Da li Nena gata? I had a really good cup of Turkish coffee just recently...in Dayton, Ohio (of all places) in a Turkish restaurant (of course). I did flip the cup. My aunt (mom's sister) used to be a popular coffe grounds reader.
PS - on visiting Ballard Locks - I bet you've seen a lot more cultural sights than I have in Seattle though - I think the locks are an engineering-appeal thing.
And a lovely photo it is! As delightful for the eyes as it must have been for the tongue. I love that the coffee still has a little froth around the edges.

Looks delish—but this coffee would keep me up until all hours!
