old haunts

 the old town of Fürth has been revamped, it is all cleaned up. All the buildings that used to be black with soot are pristine sandstone colour now, many look as good as new. Walk through the town with the old friend, she shows the way to many of the old haunts, there are hardly any of them left now. The town has a  fair colony of artists, they all have time for their art and do not have to work for the rent so hard because rents here are still lower than elsewhere.

It is strange to see the things as they were after thirty years, so much has been renewed and so much has gone.

The drive back in the dark is long and troublesome, nearly one and half hours of steady concentration. 

But the day was pleasant.
