Fall in Belgrade


As Fall is now in full force here in Serbia, and the weather has gotten considerably colder, the leaves have changed colors and have started to fall.  It had been many years since we had enjoyed Fall season, as we lived in Bangladesh and in Florida. Our children are eagerly looking forward to the first snow. They have had brief encounters with snow, but have not lived through a full winter season.
We’ve had several foggy days (or "froggy" as Austin calls it) in the last few weeks and it gives the city a mysterious look. The picture above is in Kosutnjak, the forest near our house, which takes a very different look during this season as the trees look beautiful in the bright yellow colors and the fog gives the whole place a very surreal look. 

Today we did some vegetable and fruit shopping at one of the many Pijacas, or green market, which are so common in this city. Here you will find some of the most delicious vegetables and fruits one could imagine. We have been amazed at the difference in taste and quality as compared to the mass-produced ones back home.  Although the variety is less so now as the cold weather has arrived, the choices are still wonderful.





After the shopping, we stopped at one of the many small restaurants in and around Kosutnjak forest for a wonderful lunch. 



We continue to enjoy being back on a four-season climate. It will be interesting to see the changes with the first big snow.
