Novi Sad

We are in Serbia visiting the three cities where we have missionaries and members.  Today we have been visiting Novi Sad where we have Elders and a Senior couple serving.  We came to visit them and to see Novi Sad for our first time.  We had a great day of sight seeing and visiting with the missionaries here and meeting some of the members.  We stayed in a very nice hotel and had a funny experience parking our car.  We had to driving into an elevator turn off our car and wait while it goes down.  Then we had to drive into the parking garage and park.

Here is Richard after he parked the car in this little spot.  It was a challenge for him to get out of the car, so the next day I had to get in and pull the car out.  It was a very tight squeeze!

Downtown Novi Sad.  Novi Sad was founded in 1694 when the Serb merchants formed a colony across from the Danube and the fortress.  

Mary Catholic Church and main square.

We went to lunch with the missionaries.

Richard's special meat dish!



Danube River

These pictures are of the Petrovaradin Fortress over the Danube River.

This Fortress is the oldest settlement in the area of Novi Sad.  The Celts founded the first fortress in the 4th century B.C. Later it was conquered by the Romans.  It is huge and very impressive with a hotel and several restaurants.  There were lots of people walking around and enjoying the view.
