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.

More Novi Sad

The billboard behind me is about the piano competition (they call it the Memorial). This is in downtown Novi Sad. I really wanted MY name of a billboard...



Guess what kind of apples these are. This is from one of the hundreds of booths in an ourdoor market. It's huge, but there are not that many different things there because there will be another booth just like this one just a few feet away selling the same things. It's weird how repetitive it is. Still fun to walk through and browse because it's so foreign, but I didn't try to buy anything because none of the people working there understand any English at all.










This is in the "Green Room" just before the concert in Novi Sad. Several of the students who got to experiment with the bells that afternoon brought me this HUGE bar of chocolate. They were very sweet and gave me this and a picture of the two of them.
