Florence Day Two

Yesterday we took a day trip from Florence to Pisa and Cinque Terre. On our way back to Florence we accidentally got on the wrong train and ended up in Parma where we stayed the night. We took (the right train) back to Florence this morning. So far in Florence we have only visited one church, Santa Maria Novella. It has several frescos picturing St. Thomas that Mark and I really enjoyed trying to decipher. Right now we are relaxing in our apartment because my knee is a little sore from all the running and climbing we had to do yesterday at the train station. We plan to visit the Duomo tomorrow.

Jesus giving the keys to St. Peter and knowledge to St. Thomas-

We really enjoyed this fresco; St. Thomas is shown triumphant over heresy with the Biblical writers beside him, the virtues above him, and heretics (Arius, Nestorius, and Averroes) at his feet.

Our apartment is just on the other side of this bridge-
