Handbell Traveler

The life and times of Danny Lyons. This is mainly so my family can keep up with me and see pictures as I put them up.

This is another Serbian Orthodox church. I haven’t been inside it yet, but will try to soon and get some pictures if they’ll let me.











And here’s a sign of…something. Does Las Gajas translate to Las Vegas? I think so. This is on a window of a casino in downtown Novi Sad. It's the only such thing that I've seen so maybe the law only allows one -- or maybe the Serbian mafia. I haven't been in it and don't plan to. I can lose money in many more enjoyable ways.
















That's all for now. I'd have a good time here if I knew my bell set was OK and would get here soon. It's not like I can just go borrow from someone.
