Thu 18 Sep- Relaxing in Kastav

Thu 18 Sep- we had a light breakfast, and watched the meltdown of the mortgage lenders, banks and financial market. We were quite surprised by the sudden drop in the Dow, NASDAQ and other markets. It was hard to believe the loss of equity and the turmoil being reported by CNN and CNBC. We were wondering how it would affect us in the near and long term.
For lunch, Kiyomi cooked the trout we got yesterday. Due to the low temperature in the car, and storing in refrigerator, the fish were still quite fresh. She sauteed them in olive oil, cooked with some chard and garlic, and served with the white wine we got from Ivan. It was a delicious lunch.
Afterward we watched more meltdown, Kiyomi worked and Stan read 'Triple'. Then went to the library to check our email and use the Internet. It was cool at 14-15 C and partly cloudy; it seems winter has arrived in Croatia.
For dinner we had the rest of the trout as a cold salad with cucumber and other vegetables, beets and a kind of yellow bean that was quite good. We finished off the bottle of red wind that Ivan had given us last week, enjoying it completely.
