Wed 24 Sep- Kiyomi had her second appointment with the dentist, this time to install the crown. She was once again very impressed with her efficiency, neatness and gentle touch. The crown fits perfectly, is smooth and feels natural.
Ivan stopped by to deliver a small octopus and a bag full of fresh fish (similar to mackerel) that one of his friends had caught this morning. We are finally getting the fish we were hoping for. Kiyomi fried the fish and the octopus; she also marinated some of the fish in lemon juice. We had an enjoyable lunch, along with the red wine.
Ivan told us he has set up an interview on the Maximum radio station for tomorrow. It should be interesting, since it's usually Kiyomi interviewing people, asking about their computer use, continuing education and elearning experiences.
We took another walk in the woods for exercise and fresh air, enjoying the cool 18-19 C cloudy afternoon. Afterward Kiyomi packed our summer clothes to return via mail to the US. It is pretty expensive, about $100 for up to 25 kg. DHL and FedEx are even more expensive, because they go by air freight. The mail will go by ship and take about 3 weeks. It will lighten our luggage somewhat, but the main purpose is to make room the clothes she intends to buy in Milan.
For dinner we had more of the octopus and fish. We have so much food now that we won't be able to go out for many dinners at restaurants.
