Moracha Monastery

Thirty or so minutes from town is a beautiful Serbian Orthodox church on the Moracha River.  The kids were most captivated by the trout they were raising. 







Budva

Craig was busy with meetings at a fancy(ish) hotel, so we stopped by for a visit while the big ones were at school.  The beach was too cold to play, but the indoor pools were great.  And, there was a really cool navy ship at sea.

Salt Flat Flamingos

The embassy arranged a hike to see the flamingos that nest here in Montenegro. I was surprised by the awesome number and awesome experience of seeing these wild, gray (only a tad pink) flamingos.  They nest in an old salt flat in Ulcinj, a southern coastal city near the Albanian border.  We made a weekend of it and enjoyed the sandy beaches.


This picture doesn't capture it.




We flew kites for the first time with the kids.  




It is almost like going to a 7-11.
