No Samobor this weekend
Unfortunately the weather was too bad this weekend for us to visit Samobor and the over 170 year old Carneval (”fasnik”) festival. But, it’s ok. Samobor is really close to Zagreb, and as long as our friends are willing, we should get another change to go visit it.
Instead, we had a great lunch at our friends house, played Bela, and went out afterwards. It was nice, albeit, it’s still hard for me to get used to all the smoke everywhere. Bars here don’t have really good ventilation for that stuff. Sure, some bars in Philly are like that, and Philly hasn’t outlawed smoking indoors, but there’s much better ventilation.
Dinko and I are fortunate to have our friends and family offer to cook us lunches. It’s really great, but I feel bad that we can’t exactly return the favor in the same way. Our apartment and kitchen is too small to cook for four and we only have seating for 2. We’ll work something out to return the favor though :)
