The week after Easter was spring break for those of us in Serbia. We did some FB updates but I thought I would blog our week in review. Easter weekend started with a trip to the Belgrade Zoo. If you want my opinions on that see my earlier post. The kids enjoyed it and it was a beautiful day. We spent Easter Sunday at the International Church. This is an English speaking church that is made up of all kinds of people from all over Belgrade. There are Americans, Brits, Austrailians, Finish, Iranians, and yes many Serbs. The worship was really good but it was our first holiday away from home and we sure did miss LPC and worshiping with our friends and family. Since we had the rest of the week off our main goal was to rest and let our brains recharge from our language study and let the kids rest a little bit. We accomplished this by purchasing new mattress's for the whole family. The mattress's we were all sleeping on were not the best - i would go as far as to say Kyleigh's was really bad. So we all rested better with new mattress's!! We did want to get out of Belgrade so we decided to head to Novi Sad and visit friends. Novi Sad is about an hour and a half north of Belgrade so we got really brave and took the bus. It was nice, a charter bus, and the drive was really pretty through the Serbian country side. We had a great visit with our friends they just arrived here about two weeks ago so hopefully we were able to help them adjust. We also visited another fortress. This fortress is on the Danube and the last fortress built in Europe. After our trip to Novi Sad we headed back home to finish up the week and get ready to hi the books again. Here are some Pics from our week.
