An evening at Crellestraße - and more

I made it! Inspite of two not very light bags I took the tram to the station, walked to the hostel to leave those nice bags, and had a last stroll through Riga.
Once more to the market with the cookies for just 9 santimas, around 15 cent, and the knitted wool socks and mittens for 5 to 10 Euro, depending on the pattern and the size. A last meal at the bus station cafeteria, plov and veggies and kefir for under 2 Euros. Then on to the Rimi-Supermarket to buy some typical latvian food for home decoration and gifts for my dear friend Christel who had had some job watering my flowers in this superdooper hot summer in Berlin.
I just about made it to the busstation in time to meet Justina from Vilnius, on her way with eight others to Riga airport and on to Georgia. She had been wishing I was here to help her around town, when there I was, right in front of her! So nice!
At 2 pm finally Ieva and I managed to meet at the Laima clock, for a coffee and a coke in the park by the river. She gave me a last small present: the cutest ribbon donned up with pearls in the perfect shade of blue, matching my new sweater and sun hat. So sweet!
And then back to the hostel and bye to Evecooper, hearing the latest news about Manis and Catflower in Helsinki, and about Meenzer, who will arrive in Riga with Auryte from Vilnius. So I miss him - but will meet him most probably next weekend in Warsaw.
To the bus, to the airport, bye to Latvia - back to Berlin and Crellestraße.
Five mínutes after arrival at home I was sitting in my favourite "Cafe Mirell" just across the road from my place, enjoying my first Jever after two months. Sov and Babso didn't come, after all, but never mind! I was looking onto Schöneberg nightlife from underneath the huge umbrellas, keeping the rain off. Yes, it had started raining again after so many weeks of mostly sunshine! Nice!
And this morning Sov came, and we walked through my favourite streets Akazienstraße and Goltzstraße to Winterfeldplatz, had some great indian food (he's vegetarian and wouldn't eat the proposed Currysausage), and then to "Globetrotter" to look for a backpack, just the right size to carry two months' stuff, and to be handluggage all the same. With his help I managed to find a great one (Deuter Futura 32 AC, ordered it in a nice hot red, and will get it on Monday!
Now all I need is the perfect 3-in-1 jacket, protecting against rain and cold. I'll check now, without Sov, whom I'll meet again later for the Thursday night open for free Berlin museums.
Being at home isn't that bad after all, hein?!
