[Cz-L] insomnia

To-day I want to share a useful tip with you...
I often have trouble fallingl asleep at night and the easiest remedy is of course to reach for a sleeping pill. However, I discovered a much nicer cure lately.
I close my eyes and start to roam the streets of my native city...I wander along the Herrengasse and get to the salon where my mother used to have her hair done while I waited along impatiently. It's an ugly kiosk now.I walk down the Hauptstrasse and stop before the house where my piano teacher used to live, sweet Hedy, whom I mostly loved but occasionally hated.
I walk down the Hauptstrasse and get to the Oberjudengasse, my grandfather had his house there, a small villa-like place with a yard. It disappeared since then and made place for some ugly socialistic blocks.
Oh, here I am in the Reitschulgasse, did someone really take riding lessons on this hill? If not, why the name?

How do I get to the Dreifaltigkeitsgasse where my best friend Clara used to live? I would like to see the house where we shared our little girls secrets and exchanged romantic novels written by Hedwig Chourts-Mahler. Shall I go back up or turn to the right or where?
I somehow can't find my way, my eyelids get heavy and still before reaching the Dreifaltigkeitsgasse I am finally asleep.

I pick other areas every time, and please believe me, it works.
