Gold

A panorama view of the interior of the St john's co-cathedral in Valletta. The main cathedral, San Pawl, is in Mdina, & few km away. San Pawl, Saint Paul, as the story goes, was shipwrecked in Malta (in St Paul's Bay). He founded the first christian in Malta, around 60 AD.
I've only seen more gold in some Bavarian rococo churches. I'm equally amazed and deeply dismayed by so much ostentation wealth...10 euros to see it...

Riflessjoni fi tmiem il-ġimgħa

More weekend reflections here.
You guessed it: the title of this post is Maltese for... :-)

Valletta

Went to Valletta this morning, to get the lay of the land. Made a few new four legged furry friends on my way. What can I do, cats, and dogs, just love me!

Mirrors

Amazing, what you can do with mirrors and a few projection devices...Musée Grévin, the wax museum in Paris.

I'll be away for 8 days, to some tiny islands. Not sure about internet capabilities down there...

Le bon bock

Could be in Alsace, but this photo was taken in Paris last monday. Bock is what english-speakers call a stein, a big beer container. Typically alsatian indeed!

Meeting Mr O.

Sorry about not posting yesterday: I was in Paris, on a secret meeting. Plotting the after-tRUMP with Mister O. All about strategy, strategy, and more strategy. Can't tell you more, sorry. Me talking, Mr O listening.
What a strange idea, to meet at a wax museum! Did he think I couldn't see the difference???
