We drove around town a bit on Saturday.  It was nice not to have a specific purpose, but rather just to visit some of the older parts of the city.  This is something that is almost impossible to do during the summer, and high traffic time.  So Saturday mid-morning was perfect for this non-task.

The central coffeehouse, some government buildings, construction sites, back alleys of the fifth district lined with antique shops and on toward the western railway station.  Windows down so the 10am October air and light could pass right through us.

It was a very clear and lovely day anyway, as it has been most of this month so far (though it was raining today at 6am).  And when we came home for the night:

Moon rising over rooftops.  It doesn’t get much better.
