Hrvoje's younger brother Goran was to meet us at the bus station but he wasn't there when we pulled in. Hrvoje called him and they arrived soon after. After opening up the cases and separating some of our stuff, OC went with Ivan and I went with Hrvoje, Goran, and Goran's wife, Anna. Three blocks away was the car. As Goran pulled out, I remember thinking, "How do they squeeze this many cars in one space without hitting each other?" I couldn't have gotten out of there. On the way home we decided to get food, so we stopped at what I guess was a hamburger joint. Hrvoje asked what I wanted. "Like I can read the language!" I looked at the pictures (pictures help ALOT there) and found something I recognized: a hamburger. We got everything to go. We got to Hrvoje's apartment feeling a bit odd still, especially with Goran and Anna there. I quietly ate my hamburger, which was twice the size of any burger Burger King could dream of. Goran and Anna left to go home, and I had planned to take a shower but decided against it. I was way too tired.

Ivan lives at his cousin's house, and normally stays in the "lair", which is what we would call a "casita". You know, one of those bitty houses in the back that can't really be called a house, cuz it's a room, a kitchenette and a half bathroom. The larger house, in front, was about the size of a small 2 bedroom apartment. I stayed in the larger of the 2 bedrooms, since his cousin lives somewhere else. The sizes of everything reminded me of England so much. That and the radiators, that pump hot water through them to warm the place. It was a really odd sort of deja-vu feeling. I didn't have a long time to really look at anything, because the nice, comfy looking twin bed was calling me. I slept like the dead.
