We woke late and didn't rush breakfast. Tomas wanted to visit the new art market near the station, but rain started before we left the flat. Did we take umbrellas? Yes, we did, and we walked anyway.
At the market we didn't find the pottery stall Tomas liked online. Did we buy bread from a French baker? Yes, we did, and the smell followed us down the street. A musician played near the arch, and we stopped to listen for a few minutes.
After lunch the sky cleared. We didn't return home immediately. Instead we took a tram to the old museum district because Tomas didn't visit those galleries last year. Did we queue for tickets? Yes, we did, but the line didn't move slowly.
Inside the museum we walked through rooms with paintings of ports and fishing towns. I didn't read every label, yet I didn't skip the main exhibition. Did a guide explain one painting in detail? Yes, she did, and her story didn't feel too long.
When we left, Tomas didn't want coffee near the tourist square. Did we find a quiet café on a side street? Yes, we did. Did I order tea instead of espresso? Yes, I did, because the afternoon already felt full.
On the way home we didn't expect a message from my sister. She didn't travel to our city often, but she did arrive that morning for a work meeting. Did she have time for dinner? Yes, she did, if we didn't mind a late meal.
We didn't cook at home. Did we meet her at the Italian place near the river? Yes, we did. Did Tomas mind changing plans again? No, he didn't; he liked my sister's stories about her new job.
The day didn't follow our first idea, and it didn't feel disappointing. We didn't stay dry all afternoon, we didn't see every stall, yet we didn't waste the hours. Did questions and small adjustments help us enjoy the city? Yes, they did, more than a fixed schedule ever did.
Before we slept, I didn't regret the rain or the surprise visit. Tomas didn't either. We didn't plan another busy Saturday soon, but we didn't forget how flexible days sometimes brought the best conversations.
