Looks like a very attractive city, the arcades, the quaint letter-and-telegram door slot - an best of all the university. I'm forever fascinated with ancient universities, like Cambridge and Oxford and Bologna - the thought of students having walked around here for nearly 1000 years, really quite mindblowing.Sophiehttp://www.sophiesworld.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011248318265372337.post-2783427554112775832012-11-08T13:20:27.281-08:002012-11-08T13:20:27.281-08:00Thanks for this window into another land!
