The Festival of St. Paul/Mdina

On Wednesday we went to see the festival of the shipwreck of St. Paul. Sadly the festival was canceled because of the rain. But we did get to see the church of St. Paul's shipwreck. It was heavily decorated with silver. We also saw a huge statue of St. Paul that was made out of wood.

We wandered around a bit and saw a huge library that survived WWII! It was one of the last buildings that the knights of Malta built.But we eventually had to leave because it was cold, windy and rainy. And for some reason Annika got cotton candy. But she did share.

Yesterday was also very busy. We went to Mdina, the old capitol of Malta. The bus ride over there was not fun at all. Dad, Annika, and I had to stand up the entire ride! (Though near the end I found a seat but then let Annika sit in it) We had to sit for awhile when we got off the bus. Mom and the college students met us there.

We then visited the catacombs. They were so totally awesome! I found some stairs that led to a place so dark that some of the students actually had to use their camera flash to see! It was actually kind of creepy. Especially when everyone was quiet. Even some of the students were creeped out! It was also very dusty down there.

We went to a couple other places and then we went to Fontanellas! It's a restaurant that has the best chocolate cake ever!

We then left and went to a glass making place. It was really cool. I also bought Annika a valentines present. We left shortly after that.
