A double fistful more photos from Kotor before I leave tomorrow. Few if
any have redeeming educational (or even artistic) value, but each is fun to me in some way.
Christmas
(Dec 25) has proved no hassle at all, at least not in ways I expected.
Most shops are open as usual, as are cafes and my internet connection
at the sports bar.
The bells of the many churches,, and the
drunks of the many all-night bars, took it in turns to go ape shit for
most of the hours between midnight and about 4:00am last night.
That was the most obvious impct of Dec 25.
My nice host mama
was puttering as usual in the kitchen when I arose, and offered me
coffee as usual. When I wished her Merry Christmas she returned
the greeting, but explained to me later that today is not Christmas for
her. Her Christmas is January 7. Orthodox, that is, which goes
along with the cyrillic alphabet on her door plate.
So Merry Ecksmas to all you westerners out there, for today is it.
Happy Holiday from nine hours in The Future.
