POD VOLUT

On Thursday (before I lost my passport) we went to a restaurant called Pod Volat. It is located in the old part of town. The desk lady at our hotel warned us that the restorant was "not so elite" and that there may be some "drunkards" there. We thought we would fit right in so we did not let her discouraging words stop us. When we entered the establishment we were hit by a wall of smoke and everyone decided without discussion that we would eat outside although it was about 50 deg. The food was great and two guys at our table split a 5 dollar bottle of wine. I stuck with the beer until desert. The owner of the restaurant came out and wanted to know where we were from and when he found out USA he was really excited about Obama. He then insisted that we try the special brandy made by the family. Which apparently is something like white lightening. If the picture of the tower is a little bit skewed it may be a result of the brandy.

My replacement passport is apparently on a flight from Belgrade to Podgorica tonight and I am tentativly flying to Frankfurt tommorow with a one day layover then direct to PDX.

Ah ha! I'm wondering if the white lightening had anything to do with the passport disappearance? Ha ha. Glad you're going home soon, you've got to be really excited. I'll see you Saturday!
