After a missed flight and a long delay in Heathrow, Mara arrived in the early morning of the 1st of April. We were long asleep by the time she got to her hotel room. Since we had already visited her room and left "Welcome to Malta" goodies she had a nice experience on her arrival. We picked her up at 11:45 and drove to the Church of Our Lady of Victory for a Spanish guitar concert. We met Elliot there and then headed out for a bite.
On our way to deliver the goodies
This tiny face was used to lock the open shutters in place
Another fancy knocker
Another window shutter lock
Not sure if these are knockers of door knobs
Yet another very decorative church
Dusty but still nice
Let the good times roll
We have made it to Valetta for the concert
The guitarist was already warming up
In the Church of our Lady of Victory
So much great art
Prop up that foot
Spanish guitar
The crown above the altar
The dome looks grand but is rather small
Out at the upper gardens
Lots of arches
Who will take my brochures?
Lovely blues
Leslie , Mara and Elliot, the three PhD's
The innermost of the walled cities
The middle of the three
Many canon ready to defend
Stone to spare
This looks like a cucpake
Across the Grand Harbor
One of the three fortified cities
Ferry service is readily available
One huge flag!
Rocking the zoom lens
\Preparing to fire the 2:00 cannon
The guards of the time keepers
So many large knobs and knockers
Americano with warm cream
Loving the European coffee!
Off to explore Valetta some more
