A beautiful part of my city. Old Town. A place where I really like to walk. A place where I was forbidden to arrive during lockdown. Now, fortunately, the ugly part is over and I have the freedom to walk where I want again.
For a better location and understanding, I must mention that it is about the city of Bucharest.
Bucharest is one of the big cities in Europe. It is a city of contrasts due to the fact that the long communist period managed to ruin much of its original beauty. Fortunately, communism was removed before it managed to ruin everything.
The old center is such a place with buildings and streets that have remained unchanged from the last century, the beginning of the last century.
In the middle ... of the middle, where I want to start the short presentation, is the National Bank building.
Now the walk is just a pretext to see which stores have opened. I think now it is understood that I am not alone in this walk, I am with a shopping lover (... my wife, of course!).
A few words about the Old Center. It has become the most famous place in the city due to its many restaurants and terraces. Most tourists come especially, especially on weekends, to spend beautiful evenings and nights here. The recent pandemic hit hard in this place, all restaurants and terraces were closed. Now are the first signs of return to normal and we came here to see what terraces have opened.
The real life on these streets happens at night, now I notice only some weak attempts to arrange the terraces.
In fact, the main activity is to measure the distance between the tables on the terrace. One of the conditions to receive the consent to open the terraces, keeping the social distance. The police are here to check this.
This is the narrowest street in town. I came to it because it is bordered by many shops.
That's how we actually got to the purpose of the visit, as they say ... because it's Friday, it's of course #MarketFriday and 
A small demonstration of how to buy a pair of boots ...
Well, a long search and check, fine leather boots, light but unfortunately were not bought. Because once they were worn, they did not correspond to the needs, that is, they were much more beautiful in the window than on the floor. I was sorry, they weren't very expensive either.
Thus, the quick walk on the old streets in the center ended in a store, with a long search for boots that I really didn't need (my wife didn't need). I didn't even buy them.
It was hard for me to go home without looking for the latest news, new stores.
Of course I took a lot of photos and I noticed that there are many who came to take pictures here.
I wanted to make a circle and finish this short presentation in the place where I started it, near the National Bank.
In police novels there is this expression when the reason for a crime must be found ... "cherche la femme" , "looking for the woman", of course. I change this with a new expression, "cherche la fleur" because we always need a flower,
