Just a two hour flight from Barcelona, Malta is quite the inexpensive getaway if you have a brother-in-law like to me to have him set up you and your whole family. The airline tickets for the four of us was a mere 300 euros, so how could we not take a trip to these Mediterranean islands? Paloma skipped a week of school but came back refreshed and not missing anything besides finger-painting some flowery scenery or maybe learning about the number 5. So....here we go!

And this, a cuppa joe while admiring the lovely countryside and disappearing horizon.
It was a warm day with dispersed clouds.
The little siblings squeeze the big siblings in a family photo.
The late afternoon sun shines on St. Paul's Cathedral.
It's refreshing to not see swarms of tourists a la Barcelona city center.
I started to notice the bold-colored doors sprinkled throughout the town.
Dig this shade of blue.
Around the 1800s, Malta became part of the British Empire, where the old red telephone booths are still evidence of their past presence.
So, who's the most famous Maltese? This guy. Nope, I don't know who he is either.
Juan Pablo took us to a very tiny church from which view we were to see the small, uninhabited island of Filfla. 
See to the right? Filfla is which is only five square kilometers and is home to various wildlife. Access is prohibited.

Looking even more to the right was a nice sunset and the view of what I think is a nuclear generating station. Not sure.
We headed home early to start the following day even earlier. This baby was pooped on his first overseas vacation.
Many more posts on Malta to go. Because it's my blog ;-)
