Boiled young beef with horse radish....

Doesn't this look good? Well, it was! And so were the grilled peppers with chopped garlic you can also see. Not to mention the two glasses of mulled wine I had....it was cold out....

This meal was enjoyed at this kafana that I wrote about a while back.

Apologies to Louis La Vache for having consumed this young beef....

Not dirty, just looks that way....

I was intrigued by these curtains at the the kafana that I showed you a while ago (and where I ate the yummy meal I am going to show you tomorrow). I love their folds, but they do look a bit dirty....but they're not; that's just the color...

SUNDAY BRIDGES--two in the mist

Two bridges in the mist on a cold, cold day. The darker one in the foreground is Branko's bridge, while the green one (you can tell it's green, right?) in the back is the Sava Bridge.

REFLECTIONS WEEKEND--Don't jump...

Sort of does look like the statue of the woman is about to make a fatal leap off of this modern building on Knez Mihailova....but I checked again today and she's still there.

THEME DAY- Fountains...

If they hadn't turned off the water on this fountain for the winter, the lovely beaded drops you see would be icicles. This fountain, across the way from the statue of Vuk Karadzic, a well-known Serbian scholar, is a refreshing sight in the summer, when this photo was taken. If you'd like to read more about Vuk Karadzic, click on his name!

Cold, but happy.

When there's snow and ice, I am not a brave walker. I gingerly walk along on my porcelain legs, avoiding any kind of slippery surface when possible. Sometimes it's not, and just when I'm really grumbling about winter, I come upon something cute like this happy face, with little footprints on the right of its maker, no doubt.

SUNDAY BRIDGES--bridge of your foot

Unbelievable the lengths I will go to post a bridge for Louis La Vache's SUNDAY BRIDGES.
I saw these shoes advertised in an American magazine. Those 'coils' are on the inside, but get a load of the logo..... I think someone should have researched that a little better. Or are they saying a guy can run as fast as 'that little red guy' can swim?

P.S. The bridge of your foot is the part of your foot running from your ankle to your toes, sometimes known as the instep.

REFLECTIONS WEEKEND--the bookstore

"Where's the bookstore," you ask? You're looking at it, or rather at the reflection in its window. The bookstore is currently being renovated and its display is empty, save for this reflection of a fountain on Knez Mihailova, Belgrade's pedestrian street.

See other reflections at James' Reflections Weekend.
