Still in Zagreb

I don't know if I've said anything about this already, but we love the canned beans here.  Grah s Hamburgerom is lima beans in a tomato sauce with lots of chunks of ham in it.  Wonderful, though gassy.

We are still here in Zagreb.  The new couple did arrive on schedule.  They have had a worse case of jet-lag than we did, and they are a bit shell-shocked about doing the financial stuff in the mission office.  Liz is used to that kind of accounting, so she picked it up pretty quick, but the new senior elder is a retired dentist and he used to handle it by telling his office staff to do it.  So, it's going slow.  President Melonakos asked us to stay until he's comfortable doing it.  Meanwhile more restrictions are going into effect.  It is now illegal to have more than 5 people together in a public place.  All restaurants were closed last Saturday (effective Tuesday), except for take-out.  Bakeries are exempt, though.

Well, it is Friday night and we are still here in Zagreb, with no definite plans to go home to Osijek.  We learned today that the government is discussing banning all inter-city traffic except for truck transport.  We don't want to get confined here, because all our stuff is in Osijek except for a few clothes, so we'll be watching things closely on that score!

This is a selfie of us from last Monday.  For lunch, Liz and I walked a few blocks to a Birkenstocks store where I bought some boots.

On the way back to the office, we sat down at this little outdoor caffe shop and bought some soft drinks.  This was the last day we could have done this.  All this kind of business is now prohibited.
   Also, the weather has been gorgeous for the past week, but tomorrow it will rain and then temps will plummet below freezing all next week.  All the flowers are out now and trees are blooming, but winter is kicking back at us and they are doomed. 

This may not be a very interesting photo.  It is the notice in the window of our favorite lunch spot, saying that they have to close.  HOWEVER, they will offer take-out.  They put a cardboard box outside their door where they will put your phoned in order.  When you come to pick it up, you put exact cash into a little tin box next to the cardboard box and Do Vedgenja!  (Good bye).  BTW, I didn't spell it correctly because the word has a crossed D.  It has a cross like on our t, but it's on the d and it changes the sound from regular D to a DJ sound like in adjust.
  This tiny little husband and wife place has fantastic food, and cheap, so we have continued to order from them.  The two boxes work fairly well, but in fact, she watches the boxes so closely she always comes to the door to thank us, and sometimes hand us our order - at arm's length, of course.  Each meal is 45 kuna  ($7.00) and it's enough for lunch and later on for dinner, with left-overs after that.
  We are happy they've figured out a way to stay in business, and they are very happy to have us as regular customers, although they usually sell all their food each day, and have to turn late-comers away.
