We love the big social gatherings, but it’s nice to slow the pace and have a quieter visit as well. New friend Virginia had invited us for lunch at her new digs just out of the main part of town.
She had lucked out on a small apartment with the most amazing view of the bay, and delightful landlords. We lazed the afternoon away with rose wine, zucchini fritters, and the most delicious tomato tart.
Of course I spent half the time watching new construction going on near by….no sense of OSHA here. No hard hats, no safety tethers, walking around on joists four stories up!
And in true Montenegrin fashion, Virginia’s landlord came out as we were leaving. Tom, a former warship engineer (I think every man in Boka Bay served on a warship in the 70s-90s), was retired with enough land to have a few apartments attached to his house. More importantly he grew an amazing assortment of crops, had chickens and pigs, and made his own wine and raki (which of course we had to sample). I will never get tired of Montenegrin hospitality.
