| World speed boat racing... |
 |
| A confirmation processional at the interesting church over there...wait, Vicki says confirmation is maybe Methodist, so this is probably first communion; or somesuch; anyway, they had a noisy parade around the block |
 |
| Nightfall on Balutta Bay |
 |
| They (who?) say you should always leave something for next time...in our case, apart from several more megalithic sights, that would be Malta's two Caravaggios...he did some time here, trying to become a Knight, which he did, until getting into trouble again; and he left his largest painting here, his Decollation of St. John...signing his own name in the puddle of the Baptist's blood... |
 |
| Also a St. Jerome; we missed these because we failed to read the cathedral's hours...who would'a thunk a famous cathedral with major art in a destination city would have closed on Saturday at noon and remained closed until Monday?! Oh well, the world probably does not need another comment from me on Mr. Fruity Butt Pants' framing issues (which are again apparent with the St. John) |
 |
| As with The Maltese Falcon, I spent considerable time looking for the local delicacy...and found it finally as we passed through the duty-free stores at the airport Monday morning |
 |
| Enjoying a last few minutes of luxury at the airport lounge, Vicki demonstrates triclinium dining for our grand-daughter; meanwhile I am enjoying a last few Negronis...it's been a great holiday! |
