Sunday-- Who-Dey--in EE

Back to the apartment and happy to have found a station that forgot to block out the Bengals game on their stream (they shall go unnamed as so no one gets popped this holiday season)

Blogging.. listening... and having a nice refreshing Pivo (I feel a bit like a sellout as I am having a Becks-- I have tried the 2 big local beers--Antlers and Lions-- and they are both too fizzy-- almost like there is seltzer mixed in. The taste is not bad just way to fizzy to be natural beer)--Okay enough Beer snob stuff


As Mary mentioned yesterday, weekends feel very different at the orphanage.

We were up and out early today-- Milos was waiting for us (or was he waiting for his snack??) Either way, he ran up to us and happily walked back into the visiting cell. Yoghurt snack. "glove ball" and a very nice visit.

We caught a cab for English Mass at 11:30 at Christ The King- a tiny little church near the American Embassy-- I assume they were mostly State Department workers at Mass as everyone spoke English with an American accent.

We were going to meet our friends for lunch at Pizza Hut but I guessed wrong on the tram and we ended up at the central train station. We hopped off the tram and started walking up hill to a landmark we knew. (when we can tell you where we are we can share the exact landmark and show photos of some American influence--if you can call it that)

We ended up only being about a mile from Sarah and Jon's apartment and walked there to meet them. We went hunting for Pizza Hut--and again my usually great sense of direction failed me-- we decided to get a cab and have the driver take us for "pizza the American way".

back home I am not a big Pizza Hut fan, but this was WONDERFUL-- we have not been gone long enough to be craving American food so I think it really was VERY good on its own merit!

Since we were not quite sure where we were, we decided to split cab back to the orphanage.

Hummmmmmm how to put it-- as great as our early visit was today was as bad as the afternoon visit.-- not sure what it was but Milos was NOT having a good afternoon. He was back to hitting, spitting, biting. Not all the time, but alot. He did play ball and backpack and "up and down" but he really seemed to be in some pain from something.

We stayed late so Mary could feed him dinner-- I'll let her detail that for you.

We headed back to the apartment and stopped for some more street food (I have heard how good the hamburgers are here -- a national treasure-- there is no way they can be as bad as that "thing" was last night. We got our burger from the "M-eat Bar" and it was WONDERFUL!! Burger with Cheese and ham inside. YUM!!

No pics to upload tonight becasue it will hinder my Bengals stream experience-- We will ge tthem up tomorrow!

PEACE!
