Rijeka once more, plus Opatija

Upon arrival in Rijeka, we literally just got off the boat and we felt someone poke Matt with an umbrella, it was Zvonimir! He somehow always knows when we are arriving, it was really creepy. The wather was crappy and we had bad sleep so even though we ate on the boat of course Sofie had food waiting for us...she just loves to cook! It is cray, jedi jedi! No that is not something from star wars it sounds like YEDI YEDI This is common for her to say "Jedi, Mate Jedi Yosh!" She is saying, "Eat, Matt, Eat More!" It is hilarous. We took a nap after telling them of our tralves, then ventured down town with Zvonimir. When we came back Jasna was home, we ate dinner, we had stuffed cabbage, it had soy in it and was interesting...and then we watched the storms, they were ferocius, coming in off the sea, but beautiful to watch. We could not go out so we stayed in and Matt and I taught the family how to play spoons, talk about something awesome...Zvonimir was afraid to play becasue he could not understand Matt at first because of the way he explained the rules...but then Zvonimir LOVED SPOONS. If you guys remmeber it is a very simple game but fun to play. Jasna loved it too, then we played the Croatian game Jamb whichis much like Yahtzee. It was a really fun night. They have no microwave, garbage disposal, small trash can, no TV upstairs and it is kind of nice. All the food is homemade and organic, I probably wrote this before but it still blows me away. Sophie makes some things that I just love and somethings that are jujst so different and hard to eat, oh the worst was the salt fish that Jasna loves. They are little silver fish with little tiny bones that you EAT abbey is freaking out i am sure, she eats them straight out of hte can, and matt and i said ok we have to try them, it was so awful! Oh my god they were so disgusting, but we did it! So sick. I have pictures, they laught becauese I take pictures of their food all the time. Besides the salt fish we also ate spaghetti, except the spaghetti consisted of tuna fish and tomatoe sauce...and she has made some wonderful desserts! OK more later tomorrow!
