Schnapps

Mass

In the fall of 2006 I traveled to Montenegro for a series of articles.
Now I’m back in the same hotel that I stayed in at the time, working with the same interpreter. The guide who accompanied me in 2006 decided to stay home.
This morning I went to (orthodox) Mass; it was the longest Mass I have ever been to. After Mass the head of the Orthodox Church in this region invited us for pastries and schnapps.
