everyday is saturday night, but i can't wait for sunday morning



Today marks my 18th day in Malta and I have finally found time to start documenting...and it's a good day to start. This morning a group of us went down to Valletta, to find the Sunday market. Usually the city is a quite one for being the country's capital, but today it was filled with local crowds and street performers of all ages dancing to everything from traditional folk music to Rihanna. We were confused at first, thinking that maybe they wouldn't have the market because of the festivities,but then found it tucked away right outside the city gates. It reminded me a lot of the french market in New Orleans..and my bartering skills came in handy. We ate lunch at the coffee gardens and then Claire, Ashley, and I went down to the shore. We lounged on a 50 foot limestone ledge over looking two harbors. It was nice to soak up the sun, and the view! I love these Sunday outings.

I have been warned about the first two weeks on study abroad, and have had my shares of ups and downs. On the good side of things, by this 18th day I have made some great friends, survived late nights in Paceville, managed to get my own room, received all of my luggage carb-overloaded, finally figured out my school schedule, am over being phone less, and looking forward to tomorrow:)
