Malta Festival and Market

Last night Andrew and I went to a local festival with Jacques (Captain) and Sherrie (Chef) in the town of Valletta. Even though we only drove for 20 min I knew I knew I couldn't lose my ride home because the roads here are extremely hard to learn and I wouldn't have made it home on my own. Besides the fact that we're driving on the left side of the road from the right side of the car, about every 10 blocks you come to a round-a-bout or fork in the road. But with our excellent navigation skills ;) and mainly "Google Maps" we made it to the festival and home safely. Andrew has posted pictures of the incredible floats we saw at the parade. I believe the festival is similar to Marti Gras because it is right before Lent begins. Today we went with Sherrie to a local market to get fruits and veg, Andrew, my little photographer, took the opportunity to get lots of shots of small sailboats in a marina nearby. He'll post them soon. Tomorrow is our 1st day of work! Andrew's 1st day as permanent crew on a yacht, so it's very exciting. We hope that this boat will allow us to get some longevity on a boat. We're leaving Malta sometime next week, weather permitting, and picking up the owners soon! Take care everyone, B
