I adore the old city, but I have to say the part were they tried to incorporate the modern parking garage for the hordes of tourists is gruelling. I guess it must be a challenge to bring this city so full of the old charm tastefully into the 21 century. But nevertheless its a city after my own heart. Old streets, older churches, courtyards and colleges...absolutely lovely! And so young with all the students.<br />Good luck with your new home, job and life there!<br /><br />XX<br />Victoria<br /><br />PS:<br />Just finished Elizabeth Goudge's 'Scent of Water' So wonderful!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572400688345132982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7805373502140195662.post-35355980867715588932010-06-16T14:08:31.245+01:002010-06-16T14:08:31.245+01:00All the best to you on the move and your new job! ...All the best to you on the move and your new job!
