Guests and Parties

It has been a busy week!  Last week we had visitors from the UK helping at work.  It was nice to talk with them and feel like a team again.  We went out to dinner two nights and it was nice to not have to eat dinner alone again:).

We went up to the plant on Thursday, and took the scenic route.

 Here is a picture of the temple in one of the little towns on the way to Novi Sad.

Pretty Window

Nice Archway

The Town

Another Church

It was a nice diversion. 

On Saturday night, I went to a party alone.  I had heard about this group called the Hash House Harriers.  They are a running club that also likes beer.  So I went, and had a great time.  The party host had marked the trail to the party location with flour and I had to find the "trail".  It was like a scavenger hunt with a party at the end.  The group was a nice mix of Americans and Europeans (including Serbs).  It was a very scary thing to go to a party where I didn't know a single person, but I'm really glad I went.  I hope to be able to join on their runs while I'm in Belgrade.  People remark on being brave; going to a party alone where I didn't know a single person was the bravest thing yet.  The good thing is that they have monthly runs, so I can join in with them, explore Belgrade's running paths, and have a reason to run a few times a month during the really cold months.  So I'm making progress on the friend front and am really glad to have my first social outing in Belgrade that didn't involve work!
