The embassy in Podgorica received a Marine Security Detachment less than a year ago so this was the first Birthday Ball they have had here. It was a great time filled with the Marines, embassy staff and local contacts. Although it was very different than the huge TBS balls I went to with Jim in Richmond, it had it's own charm and stuck to the tradition nicely. Jim pulled out his uniform for its once a year wearing and even got a hair cut for the occasion!

This Saturday, I attended and was the photographer for a baby shower for a couple of embassy family friends. We had a wonderful time celebrating Lejla and Jennifer. We were even fortunate enough that it was hosted at the home of the ambassador. It was a great time with new friends, local and American alike!

It has been an eventful couple of weeks here in Montenegro! We're looking forward to discovering the other activities that this Fall and Winter have to offer as we head into the holiday season.
Until the next adventure,
