For the first time in 5 months, we had 7 days to do a whole bunch of nothing. We didn't realize how needed it was until we were in the midst of thorough appreciation of our poolside days. Basically, we rotated through laying by the pool, catching the bus to the beach, and browsing the shops up and down the cobblestone streets. It sure was hot, but the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean were ever offering refreshment. Plus, we had a kick-start to fitness after months of far too much eating (as food was often offered as a gift) and far too little activity (aside from picking up kids and walking around cities). So thanks, Malta, for the health. We even spent a day at the Blue Lagoon--home of quite arguably the clearest water on earth. Google it if you don't believe us. We are currently boarding a plane to Switzerland, where we will spend 4 lovely days with the Bests, while also reuniting with our dear friends, Tiff and Diana. So perhaps you'll hear more from us there before we hop back over the pond to South America. Hope all is well wherever you may be reading!
