Gozo. Still technically Malta, but Gozitans do not consider themselves to be Maltese. Anyway, it is the little island next to Malta and next to Comino. We went there for a day trip! Absolutely fantastic! I had so much fun. We went to the Citadel which was really cool, and had some really awesome views of Gozo. Gozo is not as developed as Malta, so the fact that I saw evidence that the color green still exists and that grass is not just something I thought I once knew, made Gozo a little special place in my heart. We also went to the salt pans, which are square "pans" cut into rock on the shore, and after tide goes out, the sun dries up the water left in the pans, and the sea salt is all that is left! We played around on some huge boulders like we were five again, which I must say, was really enjoyable. We then went to my favorite place so far. The Azure Window. SO BEAUTIFUL! I could have spent so much time there, but we spent to much time climbing the rocks at the salt pans, so we only had 20 minutes. But, I did get plenty of pictures. Oh yea, and we saw more ruins.

We ate lunch at a little restaurant in a little town. I don't remember what either of them are called, but the town was very cute and nice, and the restaurant was good. So much food. And, sun dried tomato paste. YUM! We had fish with potatos, which was very good, and some desert consisting of a really good sauce. I obviously paid a lot of attention to what the waitress was saying.

Best thing about the day...Cows. I saw cows! Never in one billion years did I think I'd see a cow in Malta. I was hoping that i could take a picture, but we were on the bus, so alas, I'll just have to have the memory. I think I like Gozo...Green grass and Cows, what more could one want? How about a Creamee or a Slushy? Oh yes, Gozo has both. I opted for the Slushy, a red slushy, and a couple people got creamees. It was like some person knew I was coming, and had an idea to incorporate Vermont into Malta somehow, and this is what they came up with.

Overall, Gozo was probably one of my favorite days here so far.
