Some kind of Sunday

I can't think of a better chaser to International Church than spending the day roaming the city with the Israels. After some creative driving, we ended up on the Walking Street searching out something delicious for lunch. We ate at the Serbian equivalent for "Snow White" and people watched while eating massive amounts of pizza. Once entirely full and barely able to walk, we headed down the street in order to check out the fortress.
 This is a photo of the lovely Brooke and Conner. You may be able to see the fortress in the background, just past the display of sibling affection.
 Just inside the fortress walls there is a collection of old guns, tanks and cannons. There is also a military museum, which I hear from credible sources, is top notch and really extensive. I'll add it to my list of places to check out when I'm not eating ice cream.
 This was posted as we went through the gate. It wouldn't be Serbia if there wasn't some sense of danger involved.

 Oh and this is a photo of me on the fortress wall with the river in the background, excuse my lack of photogenic ability.

 This is the outside of the Orthodox Church that was on the fortress grounds. We went in and checked out the icons and tried to stay out of the way of everyone paying their respects to the icons (they kiss each one and put money near or on them).

These are some of the ruins on the grounds. There are even some Roman ruins scattered about.

All in all, it was an excellent day of bonding. A full belly and good friends, sounds like a pretty good Sunday to me.
