The weather in Sarajevo is still cloudy and temperatures comfortable for walking. I enjoy sleeping in and not making any plans but for one day each morning. On Wednesday we spent the morning inside, calling several people about our trip to northern Croatia, Istra, later next week. It is somewhat frustrating how unprofessional and unorganized tourist agencies and many other public workers are. By Wednesday morning we haven't received anything in the mail about this trip that is less than a week away. We didn't leave the apartment until almost 3 PM.
We went to a shopping mall looking for a soccer outfit from Sarajevo club for my brother. Only one sport store had only one shirt, and it way too expensive. Nobody knew where jerseys are sold elsewhere. We late stopped at the club's headquarters, but they were closed too. We made our usually stroll in the pedestrian zone downtown, and got another souvenir shirt for my brother. All the windows shopping exhausted us, and we first went to a desert and our favorite old place and then for a coffee in a very nice secluded garden. It was almost 6 PM when we left.
In the evening I met with a good friend of mine from Dobrinja. We don't talk or see each other for couple of years until I come here, but then we continue our conversations like we see each other all the time.. We walked through downtown, and she showed my what's new to see. Then went to the opening of Bashcharshiya Nights festival, the "Vienna Concert". It was held on a square in front of the city town hall building. I rarely come to Sarajevo during this festival, so I was really happy to be able to be here for the opening night. It was very comfortable to be outside, and the square was full. I am still in awe to see so many people on the streets. We then went for a drink in one restaurant with a nice garden by the river.
