Virtual Postcard 2: Macedonia

Dearest pigeon amigos,

I'm currently waiting for H.D to come back from the bathroom. Apparently because she drank too much water, she had to go. Pivnica An is probably the coziest restaurant I've ever seen. The people here are really nice too. 

The driver of our taxi to our hotel recommended this to us. H.D was asking about where we could find good food here in Macedonia when we landed in Skopje yesterday(She's all about food, you should know by now). He gave us the address of the restaurant and we came here, with me wondering what Macedonian food it would offer. I ordered a Turli Tava thinking that it would be barbecue meat and Muckalica thinking that it would be a type of soup. Well, dang, I thought wrong. Actually, the Turli Tava was the soup and the Muckalica was the meat. At first H.D was like, 'What in the world is that Tarlo Tavi thingy?', then she watched me suspiciously as I ate to see if I would choke to death. When I told her that it was delicious, she decided to try it. The Muckalica was delicious too. H.D ordered Pljeskavica, a Serbian hamburger. The restaurant served all kinds of food like vegetarian meals, grills, fish, roast meat, salad, etc. H.D wanted to try out Sarma, which seemed to me was stuffed grapevine leaves, but I doubted that she would've finished it if I let her order it.

The restaurant is located in Skopje's Čaršija, where dozens of other kebab restaurants were located too. Me and H.D walked around for more than twenty minutes trying to find this place. It's really hidden, but I'm glad that we didn't give up on trying to find it. I overheard a tourist guide explaining that Pivnica meant beer hall. For your information, the restaurant also sells beer! My stomach is really full now, and H.D has been staring at me for more than five minutes now. Adiós, amigos!
