Had a pretty uneventful day spent working. In the evening we went to a really cool wine tasting, the genesis of which was one of our group simply meeting a guy at a coffee shop. Belgrade, like many cities that existed within the Roman Empire, has an elaborate network of tunnels that run underneath the city. Our wine tasting was set inside these tunnels and done entirely by candlelight. In addition to wine we had a break for a little Serbian BBQ and then finished with a Rakija tasting. Rakija is a big part of Serbian culture and many (most) families have their own stills and make their own. It can be great or terrible but the round that we had at this tasting was by far the best I’ve had yet.

Since these daily updates are intended mostly for me I don’t usually include photos but I thought this warranted one or two even though they aren’t great because it was so dark.
