I'm back in Belgrade and it's Dogs on Thursday. Here are two fellow (or maybe girls or one of each) who were very intrigued when Bibi and I walked along in front of their house near the town of Zrenjanin. They were very quiet; just stood and looked.
Yesterday was the big day for this year's MBA graduates of Athens University School of Economics and Business, and a big day for the entire program, since it marked the 10 years of the program's existence. This is my son, who just received his diploma, yee-HAH. I'd have liked to have cropped the photo for better composition, but I'm working on my little laptop, which doesn't have a photo editing program to do so, but that's not the essential now, right? Proud mama.
Flew down to Athens last Friday to attend my son's MBA graduation from Athens University of Economics and Business, which is today. We took the train to Piraeus, where we came across this parrot and his owner. The parrot could talk, but it was all Greek to me....really.
Couldn't help but post these guys, the results of a colleague's 6th grade art class at the school where I teach. The New Year 2009 marks the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth (Feb. 12th like President Lincoln). Students are learning all about Darwin in their cross-curricular program and will celebrate Charlie's birthday when the time times.
This is my friend Branka, a psychologist by profession and artist by personal choice. She makes these catch-all "Crazy Boxes" out of papier-mache and each one is unique. This photo was taken on Wednesday at the opening of her exhibit downtown. I hope she sells them all! 
Another "taken while stopped at a light" shot. I couldn't make up my mind which version I liked better, so I posted them both. Which do you prefer?
Okay, well, maybe they're not all evil, but the girl on the right definitely has a malicious look as she bites into her chip. The one in the middle looks seductive, and the one on the left just looks happy, as most of us are, to be nibbling a potato chip. "Chipsy" chips are really good, too. I took this photo out of my car window while waiting for the light to change.
Many visitors to Belgrade's recent Dog Show thought this Shar-Pei puppy was awfully cute. He'll grow into his skin a bit as he develops, kind of the opposite of humans, who are born nice and smooth, but develop wrinkles as they age!
Not too original with "umbrella," but it has rained recently, and it's supposed to pour tomorrow! Where's the snow?
Taken just a few weeks ago in the town of Bela Crkva (BEH-la TSURK-va), which means "white church." Wreaths here are usually hung on doors for saints' days or village celebrations. Not sure what this one was for, but even though it's seen better days, it's still pretty.
No surprise to tell you it has been darn hot here--high 90s, slipping into 100s from time to time. I indulge in melons, all kinds, from wat...
