The sunset was awesome!Trout with Potatoes and...

I arrived to Bosnia in the middle of September.  Autumn already started showing it's beautiful colours, although the weather was still warm. My parents' garden was full of organic home grown vegetables. Gosh, how good they tasted!  Nothing of this goodness must not be wasted and preparing for winter has already started.
