Growing checkers!

Busy, busy, we have been! School is well underway and we are both getting settled into new routines. Ian is playing soccer twice a week and cards at least once a week and I'm doing yoga twice a week and  trying a gymstick class this week. You basically wrap those stretchy fitness bands on a meterstick-type contraption. I'm thinking it'll be like pilates. Hopefully, the Croatian language courses will start soon. Also, we each have to do a student club once a week - Ian is doing something with photography and I'm doing arts and crafts. So, we are definitely staying busy!

Friday night we went to our first soccer match! It was awesome! I love that there are actually professional soccer matches to attend here. We are officially fans now and we have some gear to prove it! :)

Ian - in a sea of checkers!

Yesterday was the international picnic at our school. The troops here cooked American-style hot dogs and hamburgers with real Heinz ketchup! Yum yum! Then, families brought all kinds of international foods for us to eat. It was DELICIOUS! The students had fun with bouncies and slides, face painting, a juggler, and a professional choral group. It was a great chance to meet some of our students' parents, too. Today, we had our regular Sunday, shopping at the market for the week (beets, broccoli, apples, potatoes, nectarines, and carrots). I think we spent about $4... mind boggling.

Ian is at the flea market and just found a new bike! Yay! He said it needs some work. But there's no way his will be as cool as mine!!!! :)

This week we're looking forward to seeing Jan Weber - our first guest! :) I can't believe we've already lived here for a month. Then, next weekend we are planning on heading to Rijeka for our first weekend away! We will be sure to take lots of pictures while we're there!
