Glebe, another suburb

Yesterday Lina and I drove to an inner-city suburb called Glebe (where I once lived).  We walked up this street:



The purpose of the trip was to go to a talk by Anna Funder, who was signing her new novel, All that I Am.  (I read her first book, non-fiction, called Stasiland and think she's positively brilliant - and beautiful, too!)


This is the upstairs section of the bookshop.  (I found all the pics online and this was taken some time ago with another author speaking.)


We finished off a lovely day having a bite to eat and drink in this Turkish cafe:



No idea who the little girl is - I just put this one in to show you the decor.


Just one more, before you beg me to stop.  We then went next door to another Turkish  cafe to have a cup of Turkish coffee and admire the gorgeous ceramics for sale, like this one:




This kind of tourism saves lots of money on airfares and accommodation!

All that I am seems like a good read! I believe its about life in the former East Germany?
