-an OD of Love-

I’m writing this from the apartment which for my compagni di viaggio and I shared the last days free of charge. It is a little after midnight. It feels very, very strange to be going, but I have this strange sensation that I will be back. I guess it’s not that strange, knowing me, considering that I pretty much feel like I’m a part of this place. The families who for the last days made all their best to accommodate us and never making us feel hungry threw a dinner for us last night which was lovely… Stefano and Valentina made the first course, which consisted of gnocchi with a lovely sauce with walnuts and cream)… Camille and Louisa made tiramisu from scratch, and oh my goodness was gorgeous and the sausages stew and salads. There was lots of wine to go around. It was bittersweet, this last evening together.

Nowadays one is really spoilt for choice when it comes to going out, thanks to so many activities, mostly cultural ones happening almost every weekend and I’m very sorry that I will not be able to attend any this weekend, especially the earth garden event which is gonna take place at Ta' Qali National Park this evening and all day tomorrow. I completely forgot about it even if it was very heavily publicized. It is being organized by Exit Promotion and they are experts in organizing out door activities, the most famous being the Tribu’ Festivals which have always attracted tens of thousands of people every year. However it has been two years since they have organized similar activities so I’m sure it will be out of this world. It is an excellent idea that this particular festivals are orginized since they promote environmental issues and a better way to preserve it. Apart from the various activities which are being organized during the day in an Open Village where artists will be ex...
