Malta









 For easter weekend, Marc and I found cheap Ryanair tickets to Malta.  A wonderful quick trip to enjoy some sun and scenary!  It was perfect timing; Malta is very Roman Catholic, and so there was lots going on in celebration of easter. We missed out on the serious religous worship of good friday, but were there on Sunday for all the fun of chocolate treats and people running around in the streets.  We explored some of the bigger towns, Valleta and Mdine (also know as the silent city due to the massive walls every where, you can see the fortress above from the country side).  The architecture is really spectacular, heavily arabic influenced and the tans are really set off by the blue skies and green flora.  We also stayed right on the water, conveniently located next to their small aquarium.  A very nice mini vacation!!!
