The other day there was a knock at my door. My brother answered it and came to get me because he said I had surprise visitors at the door.

I went to the door and burst into tears - here was my dear friend from Malta and she had three of her four children with her. What a wonderful visit we had - it was just wonderful to see her.

Years ago when her children were small we all went to Gozo for a few days vacation. I will never - ever forget it. The wonderful vistas,
the beautiful painted boats and fruit and vegetable carts. But most of all I fondly remember the women arriving very early in the morning selling their fresh out of the oven bread. It was out of this world - and you had to eat it right away because it was so fresh and hot. Later in the day, it would be rock hard.

Your pictures brought it all back - the sounds, the smells, the views.
I will always be grateful that I have had the opportunity to visit Malta and Gozo. I would love to go back!
