Tour of Valletta

Today we went on a tour of Valletta. We've been to Valletta plenty of times before but today we had a guide who explained it's history. She really knew alot. We learned that The walls of Valletta were built so the enemy's that approached on ships couldn't see it. Of course that didn't help in WWII.

After the tour we went to a house that originally belonged to one of the knights of Malta. The outside was very plain but the inside was very fancy. The house had two dining rooms, one for winter and one for summer, a green room, at least two other sitting rooms a small but highly decorated chapel, a nursery, a library, a small porch, a garden, and a couple other rooms I can't remember. Sadly we couldn't take any pictures.

But what I thought was really cool was when we got to go into the garden (Where you could take pictures) and have tea and canoli. I can't remember what it was made out of but it was really good. Only our guide, the students and my family were able to, none of the other people who were touring the house did. I felt really lucky (Though really I've felt lucky ever since the beginning of the trip). After we ate we left.
