Malta is ancient and ever-changing with over 6000 years of history. One aspect of Malta that I like is that English is one of the two official languages.
Scottsdale again, even though I swear I don’t like to shop… really. This time, we visited the outside of an aquarium, stopped at a couple jewelers, walked around photographing fascinating sculptures, visited the Scottsdale Public Library, and ate some tasty barbecue.
