So, this old prose translation was fun enough. But I love that I read most if it, and the heart of it, in Florence. (The epilogue ties the story into the foundation of Florence)

arubabookwoman Is that your photo? It's lovely. I'm dying to go to Florence, especially to see the Fra Angelicos. 11mo
BarbaraBB Perfect photo of Florence. I think you took it from Fiesole indeed? 11mo
batsy That's beautiful! 11mo
Graywacke @arubabookwoman yes. We saw something by Fra Angelica, but i lost it amongst all the other stuff in the Uffizi. I do really really like him. @barbarabb From Boboli Gardens. 🙂 Fiesole would have been more appropriate. @batsy yeah… isn‘t it? I love Florence. My second time here. First was my honeymoon in 2000.
