KUSHTAKA may claim to come in peace. Don't believe KUSHTAKA.
He is the Devil Bear and he wants to kill you.

With Father Earl in the former Yugoslavia

After a rowdy evening at a camping site in Kotor, Father Earl, some of our Dutch hippy friends and I decided to go "up country".
A short drive but a world away from the tourist-friendly resorts of the Dalmatian coast was Titograd. It was there we sought out two old friends of Father Earl, Sveta and Gveta. They welcomed us into their dingy apartment in a grey, soulless, square building. Father Earl quipped : so this is what they mean by Communist Bloc.
We drank Schnurtz, a local apricot brandy and sang revolutionary songs until we began to feel hungry. We pooled what little money we had and sent Father Earl out to buy sausages.
But he did not return. Later we found out that he had spent our money on a cruise round the Mediterranean, visiting Greek and Roman archeological sites
