More photos from Malta.

View from the hostel on Gozo. (where I am now)
Stone walls like this divide the farms on Malta.
In my little writing room at St. Joseph's Home Hostel.


This is St. George's Beach, in St. Julian's, Malta. Hideous place.

A photograph taken while walking from Valletta to St. Julian's.
Walking from Valletta to the aforementioned hell-hole. About a 8-9 K walk. Great early evening light.


A photo taken as the ferry was departing for Gozo.

Flowers near Mtarfa.

This is the house Sean may have lived in as a baby. (Mtarfa)

Ha! This is the tourist information centre in St. Julian's\Sliema. What a joke.

And just try to find a working public phone in St. Julian's!


Another postcard for St. Julian's that attests to its "affluenza".


The buses on Malta and Gozo area very cool.


Today (May 15th?) we were in Rabat, the capital of Gozo. (Rabat is also known as Victoria.) It is halfway across the length of the island, and we walked. Traffic was quite ridiculous, and each community much resembled the one that came before. I sure miss trees.

More adjectives:

Rabat
Sean: hustling, schizoid, unloved, car-wracked, exorcized.
Shelley: dust-blown, museum-tripped, wool and laced, hot-bussed, commercial.

Ghajnsielem
Sean: unfocussed, amiable, dusty, neutral, sleeping.
Shelley: local-folked, two-tongued,cathedral-dominated, yellow, respite-homed.

St. Joseph's Home Hostel
Sean: hibernating, monastic,unrevealed, many-celled, compassionate.
Shelley: surprising, multi-lingual, open-armed, wind-passaged, sea-sided.
