To all of our Serbian friends, Srecan Bozic (I know it isn’t really in Serbian…I can’t figure out how to get this computer to type in another language right now).

For those who don’t know, the Serbs celebrate Christmas on Jan 7 because the Serbian Orthodox Church uses the Julian Calendar

[Update 01-06-2011 19:29:06] The picture above is an ornament on our Christmas tree.  If the Serbs put up a tree like what we would call a Christmas Tree, they would usually do it for New Year’s and call it a New Year’s tree.  For Christmas, the traditional tree is a badnjak.

Cotton Candy — Oh Yeah!

Before we left Cacak, Serbia, a fair came to town.  We went to look around.  They had cotton candy.  Lydia and I paid about $1 for what we got and split it.  It was great.  Here are some pictures:
