Dinner

Today's Route

     We just wandered around the Old City, looking for a nice place for dinner. The first picture is of the opera house that we found by chance. It looked like it had a long history and I hoped that I would enjoy an opera there someday. The next two pictures  are of the shops that engaged Yuri's interest. She is 21 years old, but looked like a low teen. She was looking for candies for her sisters in the pictures. While I laughed  at her saying "You look like an ant that gathers around sweets", I was told that the things in the pictures were like a magnet for me. Actually I was interested in how to adjust the power of charcoal fires on the barbecue in the next two pictures and I was gazing at it for more  than ten minutes. Someone might be wondering if I was a beggar or someone who was hungry at that time.  Anyway, the barbecue man was moving the grill up and down, and sometimes rotating it. It was a nice idea. We had various kinds of food from street stalls tonight. I looked for the domestic dish, 'wiener schnitzel', but couldn't find it. I'll try next time. The  man in the last picture also attracted me. It was really the country of sausages as might be expected.
