There's the Doma Church to my left as I head across. Ahead, the streets seem to bustle. The enormous paRex bank ad reads
JA MAN KADREIZ SAGRUT BUS MANI ATKAL CELIET JUS! | IF SOME DAY I FALL ON HARD TIMES THEN HELP ME UP AGAIN! |
An open invitatation to those trying to rebuild.* As I get to the edge of Vecriga, a different perspective of the same street shows it's not as crowded as first appeared. Like almost everything around here, how things look depends on your point of view. Bustling or bleak, take your pick.
Below, I'm behind St. Peter's spire, and I take a casual look down the street thinking about where to head next.
