norsegirlIt's been a week, where's my photo? It's comin', it's comin'...
Mdina, my favourite place in Malta. An ancient city, the once-capital that was abandoned in the renaissance for newer, cooler, sea-side digs in Valletta, that has gone pretty much unchanged since then. Narrow, winding streets and alleyways, massive town squares, and everything close and paved, making best use of the space within the walls. The sound of the horses, pulling carriages, trotting past us as we walked into the city, the sounds of their hooves echoing off the stone walls of the houses and palaces lining the streets and off the interior of the city gate really took me back. This was one place where I really wished I'd brought garb, friends and some good musicians :)
