Herceg Novi, Montenegro

As we entered Montenegro, we came across a Russian supermarket. Turns out there is a huge Russian population in the country. Both nations use the Cyrillic alphabet and have Orthodox Christian cultures. There's also some significant political mixing it turns out, which led us to a schooling moment about "oligarchs." The Russian connection paid off for us in the form of delicious smoked fish, fresh brown bread, and other Russian specialties.

In Herceg Novi, Aaron and the boys watched a Liverpool game at a gorgeous café, while Susanna explored the old town and the boardwalk.

We celebrated shabbat in the van using candles gifted from home and braided bread found at the local bakery.Okumaya devam et
