Thu 25 Sep- our radio interview

Thu 25 Sep- it is another cool 14-15 C cloudy day in Kastav. Ivan went with us to the Maximum radio station, 90.30 FM, which is located about 80 meters from our apartment in Kastav. The station is located in rooms that were once part of a priest's residence. The interview lasted about an hour, and asked for our impressions of Croatia in general, how it differed from our expectations, our feelings about the people, our favorite cuisine, our first impressions of Rijeka and Kastav, and other comments about our experiences in Croatia. We said that since we don't have room in our luggage, our photos, videos and memories will be our souvenirs; we will be able to share these with friends and family.
After the interview, we visited the Kastav city museum, which maintains a history of Kastav from prehistoric times to the present. There are many photos of the city from 100 or more years ago, photos and articles from the various wars that have affected Kastav and Croatia, household implements and toys from olden days, etc.
Later in the day we had another interview with a professor/photographer who also writes a column for a local newspaper. We gave many of the same replies we had given earlier at our radio interview. I'm sure he was glad to hear our impressions and opinions on Croatia are so positive, and that we have so completely enjoyed our stay here.
