Valletta, Malta in November 2022

Some panoramas of Valletta, and the 3 cities (Birgu, Senglea, and Bormla) across the harbor.

Oh, and one of the noon time firing of the cannon in Valletta.

If you ever get the chance to go to Malta take it. There is so much history there for such a small place! Plus only about 20k Americans make it there each year. One suggestion? DO NOT RENT A CAR! The streets are crazy tight pretty much everywhere. Almost everyone speaks English due to the heavy UK influence in the area. We had a great time.

This is from Valletta looking to the Grand Harbour opening

Driving was interesting. Right hand drive and roundabouts everywhere.

and not at all in 40 years.

Go Pens! Maybe not to the playoffs. I keep hoping once they get some of their defensemen back it will turn around. Deserved better yesterday, but what are you going to do.
