Malta
We were told that sailing into Malta at sunrise was not to be misse
d, so we ate breakfast on our balcony as the sun came over the harbor. Malta was lovely and seemed to be frozen in an ancient time. We saw fortresses and catacombs, Roman ruins and temples, and perfectly preserved mosaics crafted thousands of years ago. Lunch was in a huge underground hall that was originally a hospital run by the Knights of Malta. It was nice to get out of the heat -- temps were in the 90s and the sun was scorching. We were all dying to take a dip but couldn't find a beach -- water water everywhere and not a drop to swim in!

Corsica
Here's a tip: If you go to Corsica, don't go to Napoleon's birthplace (even if Napoleon himself greets you when you disembark).
Sadly, no one told us this in advance and so we spent a good chunk of the morning wandering through some airless rooms where Mr. Bonaparte may or may not have slept. The afternoon was much better. We ditched the tour and went to the beach. I had never been swimming in the Mediterranean and it was beautiful and blue and bouyant. Plus, I can't remember the last time I went to the beach and didn't have to build a sand castle. Ahhhh...

Photo contest
When we were in NH for the 4th, my father-in-law challenged me to a photo contest. The assignment: take your best shot of the antiques store in Center Ossipee. Here are our efforts -- and now it's time to cast your vote. Let me know if you prefer the top photo or the bottom photo. Then I'll publish the results. May the best (wo)man win!
